Reasons for Differences:
1. Social Expectations: Society dictates certain toys as appropriate for each gender.
2. Marketing Strategies: Advertisers target specific genders, reinforcing stereotypes.
3. Parental and Peer Influence: Adults and peers inadvertently reinforce gender-specific toy preferences.

However, individual preferences may vary beyond these stereotypes, encouraging diversity in interests and roles.
