When it comes to collecting, it’s often more common for boys to be active collectors than it is for girls. Boys collectibles range from baseball cards to matchbox cars, but it’s not right that boys alone should be able to appreciate collectibles at a young age. Girls too can enjoy collecting as a hobby. Though collectibles for girls aren’t as common as those for boys, a few examples might include collectible teddy bears, porcelain dolls, and seashells.
My daughter collects teddy bears, and it’s a great hobby for her to share with her friends. The thing about teddy bears is they’ve been around so long, virtually any teddy can become a collectible. Unlike something more targeted like baseball cards, my daughter learns to appreciate teddy bears of different styles and even from different countries. It’s a great feeling knowing that her hobby is also contributing to her interest in foreign culture!
