Coolest idea I've seen in a while.
For gender balance, I bought race cars for my granddaughter. She liked to play with them, but she soon characterized them as the father car, the mother car, the big brother, and the little sister. IOW, by the time she was a toddler, she was all-in with being a girl.
I also introduced her to things that live under rocks in my yard -- worms and stuff. That was a bust.
