Way to turn a cute craft into something sexist. Minecraft is for girls too. And for all ages as well. Stop marketing your things as “boy approved.” This is why toy stores are still segregated.
Jess, of course girls love Minecraft, too, and why wouldn’t they? I don’t think I ever said Minecraft is a boys-only game. Or that any toy is exclusive to any gender. Or even that these printable Valentines were for boys or 8-year-olds only.
My point in calling the Valentine’s cards boy-approved was specific to my own 8-year-old son who was uncomfortable with passing out any Valentine’s card with a “love” message on them to any of his classmates, male or female. But he was fine with the messaging on these because everyone loves Minecraft. So, I’ll stick by my original wording. These cards were approved by my 8-year-old boy.
To your point of gender-specific aisles at toy stores, I would never consciously perpetuate that. I don’t think there should be boys’ toys or girls’ toys. Just toys. I was so happy when Target changed their signage.
I don’t have a daughter, just a son, but he’s welcome to play with any toy he likes. His mom plays with power tools, after all.
