Boys are almost three times as likely as girls to receive science and maths toys this Christmas, the UK's Institution of Engineering and Technology has said.

The IET found that 31% of science, technology, engineering and maths (Stem) toys were listed for boys, compared with 11% listed for girls, after analysing 360 toys and images across the top 10 retailer websites as well as 594 search engine results.
