The perfect activity for starting shame-free conversations about bodies that includes the private parts!
This is dress-up with a difference! Play and Learn: PaperDoll Friends is jam-packed with outfits and costumes for kids to colour in and for the ten super-cute friends to wear. Even better, your kids will learn a thing or two about the human body as they cut, colour, and play.
That's because, unlike the characters in other dress-up activity books, the PaperDoll Friends aren't smoothed-over dolls-they have genitals matching biologically male, female, and intersex children. The brainchild of sex educator Cath Hakanson, Play and Learn: PaperDoll Friends is the perfect way for parents to start talking to their kids about anatomy and gender, and is judgment-free, multicultural, and-most importantly-loads of fun!
Featuring ten diverse dolls and over twenty costumes, Play and Learn: PaperDoll Friends will keep your children entertained and educated for hours on end. The only limit is their imagination! Also included:
- 'Note to the Reader' on the importance of facilitating open and honest conversations about bodies and anatomy with your children.
- Suggestions on getting started and what to do if your child doesn't respond.
- Discussion guide for talking to kids about genitals, diversity, biological sex, gender (including transgender), gender stereotypes, same-sex relationships, private body parts, body safety and nudity.
