Selected Toys for Girls

Selected toys for girls (circa 1927).

When choosing gifts for kids - just remember that boys like toy guns and sports while girls like sewing, laundry and dolls. “Little girls love to sew!” The baby Betsy Ironing Boards were such a huge hit with the girls, as too were the toy gas range and stove sets. “A new stove, just like Mother’s.” I like the way it says “selected” toys for girls. It sounds as if the girls’ choices had already been made for them.
