The Importance Of Toys For African American Children

My other toy I found was a Little Tikes adjust and jam basketball hoop. This toy was $25 and located right by the bicycle. It was for ages 3+ and it adjust to 5 different heights varying on the height of your child. This toy was for boys and girls since on the front of the packaging there was a little boy and girl playing basketball. I would love to buy this for my kids or a relative and I would love for my kids to receive this from someone because I was always into sports and continuing the tradition would be awesome. I believe this game would teach them more sport specific rather than just riding a bike. They would be able to develop hand-eye coordination because of the physical movement involved to make it inside the hoop. Just like the tee-ball set where children are working on a movement they are not use to. I did find it interesting that they had an African American boy on the front of the box especially since the majority of NBA basketball players are African American. Children all around the US grow up playing basketball because it is financially doable for under privileged kids. Basketball earns your mountains of respect and adoration. Majority of these under privileged kids are African Americans so playing basketball is their escape. Having a high African American rate in the NBA makes society expects that to continue. So putting an African American child on the front of the box is just leading to the future African American
I also found it ridiculous how much the toys costed with the fact that physical activity is mandated in public schools in California. I think if the prices were lower maybe more people would be able to afford them because people are going to buy what entertains the kid before the exercise
