Investigate popular toys on the market today.  You can use the internet or visit a toy store to do this research.  See if you can find toys that fall into the four categories above; that is, those that may promote aggression, those that may promote pro-social behavior; those that seem to encourage or discourage gender stereotyping; and those that seem to encourage or discourage cultural differences and/or stereotyping.  Identify and investigate a minimum of four toys, one from each category.  Discuss your observations about these four categories.  You may want to use the following questions as guidance for your team’s analysis of the toys

How do toys influence behavior, self-concept, and identity?

What did you observe concerning positive and negative gender stereotyping?

How has your research on toys and gender influenced your views on the relative influences of environment and heredity on gender and identity development in children?

How has your research on toys and aggression influenced your views on the relative influences of environment and heredity on aggressive behavior in children?
