Résumé 0

By age 2, boys and girls play differently. Gender differences are especially large for play with dolls and toy cars. While these differences exist to a similar extent across all social classes, they are smaller among younger siblings than older ones. This is due to a sibling training effect, with younger siblings emulating their elders of the opposite sex, and illustrates the key role of interaction between children in play preferences and early learning of gendered behaviours.
