Ever wondered why pink is associated with girls and blue with boys? It's not always been this way!
Believe it or not, in the early 1900s, there wasn't a strong color link to gender. In fact, sometimes pink was for boys and blue for girls!
Around the 1940s, clothing manufacturers started using pink and blue to target specific genders. This helped them sell more clothes!
Pink came to be seen as soft and pretty, fitting the stereotype of girls. Blue, linked to the sky and sea, became associated with masculinity.
The women's liberation movement in the 1960s challenged these stereotypes. Parents opted for more neutral colors for their children.
While pink and blue remain popular for baby clothes, there's a growing trend towards gender-neutral colors. It's all about personal choice!
Pink and blue aren't just for clothes anymore! They're used in toys, decorations, and even food marketing.
Colors are fun, but they shouldn't limit what a person likes or can do. Boys can love pink, and girls can love blue!
The next time you see a toy section divided by color, remember - anyone can enjoy any color, regardless of gender.
So, does pink or blue rule your world, or do you have another favorite color entirely?
