My three-year-old son won’t make-believe that he’s a girl anymore. At our place the ABC Kids cartoon PJ Masks has long been a favourite – not only to watch on television but to re-enact as a whole-family activity. For the unfamiliar, PJ Masks is about three primary-school aged kids, two boys and a girl, who turn into superheroes when they put their pyjamas on at night. Each has their own individual suit, powers, and superhero vehicle, which makes for thrilling watching but also a merchandising bonanza.
