Most of the time the colors on these aisles are not very bright the colors are more natural. The toys are also more masculine and they show how men are successful and they try to inspire the kids that play with these toys to be more like the action figure that by being like them that they could also be successful.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY TJ Maxx Toys are brand name toys sold at discounted prices in TJ Maxx. The biggest vendors including Mattel, which has a market share of 16% and Hasboro with a market share of 11%, will sell these toys. As with the clothing, these toys will be shipped to one of the 13 distribution centers, and trucked to the stores every 3-4 days. The toys will be bought on an “opportunity” basis, which will allow for TJ Maxx to sell them at a 30-60% lower price than normal retail stores.

The misfit toy ad works very well because it compares the AT&T iPhone to a bunch of toys that were the toy that every kid had to have at Christmas time. Now the toys have been forgotten about because there are better toys or better versions of those toys out now. The jack in the box says, “Hey look at the new guy,” and then the pink and white poke-a-dotted elephant asks what the AT&T iPhone is doing there because it can download apps and browse the web.
Play promotes curiosity, discovery, and problem solving, which helps develop a positive self image for the individual child. I think children should be able to be themselves, not a constructed version of themselves and not who adults think they should be. They should be able to find out who they are at a young age, play helps that. During play, children discover. They use their imagination and are able to see an object as something else; like using blocks for play food, or hands for telephones.

Spring has began and bike's for girl's and boy's have been set, pink and white with flower's for girl's and black and blue for boy's.

Babies are really smart; even though we don’t usually know how to communicate with them, but they do. They have been born with their special skills to connect with people. Sometimes they behave in certain ways that their parents can’t understand, but when they get used to the babies, they will see that they were trying to
And we are bombarded with adds that tell us to buy our way to security, happiness, friendship, and sex” (Lankford 8), but are there other reasons as to why we, and our children, become this way? School, church, peers and the mass media can affect anyone in negative ways (Achenriener 3). Children have not really been the center of study for materialistic research. "Materialism has long been interest to consumer researchers but research has centered on adult consumers not children or teens" (Chaplin 2). In recent studies it was theorized that because a lot of behavior is learned at a young age then it may be children, not adults, that are becoming more
