Abstract

The toy industry has been criticized for promoting materialism and distorting the children's imaginations towards beliefs in unrealistic concepts.

Meanwhile, majority of the toy industry critics go beyond by suggesting that toys should adequately prepare children for the challenges of adult life through toys that resemble successful men and women.
