Snow White has a vile temper. My sister had a molded plastic one at that age which left a nasty welt on my forehead. When we were a bit older than that, we'd read a lot of Greek myths, so our princesses became ancient royalty who spent their time plotting to put the oldest sister on the throne even though their Dad wanted the son to follow him, and finding ways for the youngest sister to run wild in the woods and hunt and fight and most emphatically *not* be a princess. We were proto-feminist freaks, what can I say?

So, my gym offers kid boxing classes for kids 6-12 (really cheap, too, btw, if you're interested when you have a 6 y/o available). And the one other girl in my grown up Muay Thai class has pink boxing gloves. Which frankly make me roll my eyes, but, hey, whatever works for her. HOWEVER, I think that for little girls with unflappable princess fixations, boxing classes with pink gloves seem like an awesome option.
