> Cut, colour and create with paper dolls and superheroes

> Teaches private parts, gender identity and body diversity

> 10 characters with diverse anatomies and identities

> 30+ inclusive outfits and accessories

Your child’s first step towards body respect and inclusion starts with scissors and a glue stick. ✂️

They’re colouring in capes and choosing outfits… but they’re also learning that bodies come in different shapes, sizes, colours – and that no one body is “better” than another.

The Anatomically Correct Paper Dolls & Superheroes Activity is a fun, hands-on way to teach your child about gender identity, body parts, and body diversity – without making it weird or overwhelming.

Created by sex educator and mum, Cath Hakanson, this printable activity is more than just playtime – it’s an invitation to explore identity, body safety, and self-expression in a gentle, inclusive way.

With this activity, you’ll help your child:

  • Understand that bodies are private, special and different – and that’s okay
  • Learn accurate names for private body parts (like penis and vulva) without shame
  • See gender diversity, disability, and culture represented in everyday bodies
  • Start conversations about body safety, gender identity, and consent – through play

What’s included:

  • A printable PDF to colour, cut and play with at home
  • 10 characters in different skin tones and body types
  • Each character comes in 3 versions: with a vulva, penis, or “draw-your-own” anatomy
  • 30+ diverse and inclusive costumes (that fit every body), including mobility aids, hijabs, capes, and superhero masks
  • A detailed parent guide to help you start the conversation, with child-friendly language and tips
  • A discussion guide to support topics like private body parts, intersex variation, transgender identity, same-sex families, and more

Cut, colour, and celebrate every body

Worried your child might ask confronting questions? I hope they do! These moments are a sign that they trust you. The included guides will help you feel calm, prepared and ready – even if you’re still figuring it out yourself.

Not sure if it matches your family’s values? This activity is flexible and respectful. It gives you language and options you can tailor to your own beliefs and comfort level – without shame or pressure. Many faith-based and conservative families use it with confidence.

Turn Craft Time Into Confidence-Building Conversations

🎨 Whether your child’s curious about bodies, gender, or just loves craft time – this activity is a gentle and powerful way to start talking. It's also perfect to teach body safety and boundaries to kids.

Suitable for parents of children aged between 3 to 8 years.

Can I use this activity more than once?
Yes! You can print as many copies as you like for your own family’s use.

Won’t this encourage my child to ask questions?
I hope so! Kids are naturally curious – and it’s better they come to you than turn to friends or Google. By using this activity together, you're showing them that you're a safe person to ask.

Is my child too young for this?
If they enjoy cutting, colouring or dressing up dolls, they’re ready. You don’t have to share more than they’re ready for – the Parent Guide will help you answer questions in a way that suits their age and stage.

What if I don’t know what to talk about?
No worries – the Parent Guide gives you tips on how to start, plus lots of conversation ideas. You don’t need to be an expert to get this right.

Is this suitable for LGBTQ+ families?
Yes – absolutely. The dolls, costumes and language are designed to reflect all kinds of families and identities. Whether your child has two mums, a non-binary sibling, or questions about gender, this activity creates a safe, inclusive space to explore it all.

What if my child asks something unexpected?
That’s okay – you don’t have to know all the answers! The Parent Guide will help you feel prepared, and it’s perfectly fine to say, “That’s a great question – let me think about it and get back to you.” What matters most is keeping the conversation open.

Is this suitable for intersex, trans or gender-diverse kids?
Yes – this activity was designed with all kids in mind. Each doll comes in three versions: one with a penis, one with a vulva, and one with no genitals at all – so your child can choose or draw the body that feels right for them. It’s a simple way to support gender exploration and help all kids feel seen and included.

Is this suitable for neurodivergent children?
Yes – many parents of autistic and neurodivergent children find this activity especially helpful. It uses visual, hands-on learning and clear language to support understanding. Your child can engage at their own pace, and the repetition of play makes it easier to reinforce key ideas like private body parts, consent and identity.

Explaining Sexual Intercourse

Perfect guide for talking to kids

This helped me so much when talking to my 6 year old who had lots of questions about how "babies get into a belly". This guide gives many different ways to speak about sex depending on your familes views and values. It gives you a way to speak about as many or as few details as you are comfortable with or that you think your kid is ready for. I appreciate how well written and thought out this was. I'll be using it in the future for more open talks with my children.

Thankyou Cath

As a practitioner working in this space, coming across this course for free and being able to share it with parents and staff, was just the cherry on top of visiting Cath's website. Thankyou for your accessible, compassionate and colourful approach!

A very useful course, thank you!

My daughter is 6 years old. Masturbation is a delicate subject and it is not easy to talk about it with friends or family, even with the doctor, because masturbation in young children triggers alarms and they think there may be abuse. So I thank you for this course, so well explained. My mother tongue is not English, but this course explains things clearly, in a simple and practical way, with tips and resources. With this course I understood that masturbation in young children is not so rare, I learnt how to deal with it and I felt understood and relieved knowing that there are more parents worried about this. Again, thank you.

wish i purchased this sooner

after a small incident with my 2 & 4 yr old, I purchased this course to learn how to approach teaching my kids about consent and to better understand what I should actually be concerned about. After this course, I purchased a few books that were recommended and will be having regular discussions with both my kids about body curiosity

Incredibly helpful resource

This is such essential reading, even if you do not think this is an issue for your kids in the moment, because it normalizes behaviors that to the untrained may seem problematic!

Just what I needed!

I was putting off the porn chat as I was worried about how I'd answer any questions! But now I don't have to, as it's in this book!

the reassurance I needed!

I've got a kid who is starting to ask lots of questions. This has been a lifesaver, as it's allowed me to answer their questions. But more importantly, it's shown me how to talk about these things in a way they understand

I love the illustrations

My kids are super curious about where babies come from, so I grabbed this to help me explain. The illustrations at the back are great, as I they helped me to explain. and answer their questions. Thank you!!!!!!!

Great product- non judgemental, friendly delivery

I recently purchased the getting started with sex ed course and was pleasantly surprised to find that instead of doing a big awkward talk like I feared, I’d already been doing a lot of the little conversations about bodies, feelings, consent etc with my kids. I liked how she broke the details into specific age/stages. Highly recommend!

Excellent information

Was very helpfull to oriented my daugther

Love it

What a great resource!

Worrying sexual behaviors

A great break down and understanding of sexual behaviors, both worrisome and age appropriate, by age. A great resource for someone who works with children and teens

Really helpful

Heaps of advice I'd never even thought about, super helpful!

Genitalia Learning Fun

A brilliant resource for students with intellectual disability and autism, who are also non verbal, to learn about parts of their body to keep them healthy and safe.

Great place to start!

Our daughter was very curious and was asking about pictures, this gave us a nice intro and gave her clear specific information appropriate to her age.

Good

Very informative, totally recommend

100% recommend

Reading "explaining sexual intercourse" gave me the piece of mind and back up I needed, reinforcing what I knew and offering precious new knowledge, in order for me to feel more confident and as ready as possible for whenever the time comes for educating my child on the matter.

S.P. thank you for leaving a review and congratulations! As you are the winner of the $50 Amazon Gift Card for leaving a review in July! I have just emailed you!

Worrying Sexual Behaviours

Making it easier!

I absolutely love this. This has helped me talk to my young children about different body parts, it also opens up conversation about body types. Everyone is different and I want my kids to know that! I definitely plan to purchase more in the future to help me as my kids grow.
