There’s more to life for little girls than pink princesses, baby dolls and toy kitchen sets. But sometimes it’s hard to know this judging from the plethora of gender specific toys out there. Sure many girls like baby dolls (as do most of the little boys in my daughter’s playgroup). But girls are too multidimensional to be confined to the roles of princesses and homemakers and it’s nice to see this reflected in the Playmobil series of toy figurines.

Playmobil does offers the standard princess and mom-at-home-doing-housework toy sets. But they also feature female figurines in some exciting new roles that are too often reserved for boys.

Check out this cool set featuring a female jewel thief! Also cool is a Playmobil figurine of a female cop making an arrest. If the little girl in your life is interested in pirates, how cool is it that girls in one Playmobil set play a leading pirate role versus being confined to the stereotypical damsel in distress. Playmobil also offers sets with female firefighters, doctors, veterinarians, farmers and much more.

They also offer break out roles for the guys and I was very pleased to see this Playmobil doll featuring a dad pushing a stroller!  Don’t forget gifts that support The New Agenda!
