Even when boys and girls gravitate toward the same toys, they play with them differently. For example, research has shown that if given a pile of Legos, little girls tend to build houses while little boys tend to build machines (in my son's case, machine that either fly, produce honey so the bees don't have to, or both).
My son has a pair of plush flowers that he plays with, which seems kind of innocent and sweet at first glance. He does not, however, play with them the way a girl would. At least, not the way I would have played with them as a little girl.
