A conversation with the developers of the popular Toca Life: World prompts definitions of "real" games, why some games are marketed at girls instead of boys, and more.
My child is 9 and my wife and I made the decision almost immediately to not do girl or boy things. It annoyed our families we didn't find out the sex of our kid before birth so they couldn't buy pink or blue clothes. We said they could buy whatever, it'll all be covered in spit up soon anyway.
When I get questions from them about gender norms (stores don't have an officially marked girl and boy section but they still have them), I try and explain the idea of how people have these categorizations and people are trying to move away from it but not everyone and not at the same pace.
I played Toca Boca games as an adult well into my twenties! They’re incredibly fun and they’re big spaces to explore, with lots of dimension. A lot of game-games feel railroady, but TB apps never did.
My daughter loves Toca Boca games. Glad to learn the creators are mindful of how they present their characters in their game worlds. The Amazon Kids+ library is curated, but there's still a bunch of garbage on there.

I loved the perspectives of the Drs in this piece, which really complemented/complimented Toca Boca's work.
