Broaden your child’s worldview, just a little. This paper activity features parents and babies of different ethnicities and genders – including transgender people. Because your child hasn’t yet learned how to stereotype.

Designed to be coloured, cut and stuck together, Bodies, Babies and Families is a refreshingly inclusive version of the classic craft activity. It can help you to start conversations, too – like:

  • What does gender mean?
  • What are the differences between bodies?
  • How many people could be in a family?
  • Where do babies grow?

In the handy illustrated Q&A Guide, you’ll find lots of
simple answers to these complex questions – so you can start teaching your
child about bodies and families. (Don’t be surprised if you learn a few things,
too!)

Say goodbye to awkwardness with this diverse and inclusive set of paper doll families.

An excellent inclusive educational resource

Paper Doll Families is a fantastic resource by Cath Hakanson. My child loved the interactive aspect and was able to cut out and colour the dolls. We discussed the topic of Where do babies come from? Whilst playing with the paper dolls.
This inclusive activity book is a brilliant way to introduce the topic of reproduction, pregnancy, childbirth and babies to children in a fun and age appropriate way. There are several dolls including babies of different ages (newborn, 3 months, 6 months, 9 months, 12 months and 18 months), different ethnicities, all of the paper dolls are anatomically correct. The parents are also included so there is an opportunity to discuss how babies are made and the unique ways in which this can be done (donation, assisted reproduction, surrogacy and adoption).

Frequently asked Questions

Can I use this more than once?

Yes! You can re-print them multiple times (for your own family’s use only).

Won’t this encourage my child to ask questions?

I hope so! Children are naturally curious and full of questions. Where would you like them to get their answers? Their friends? Google? Or you? By enjoying these activities with your child you are showing them that you are a safe person to ask.

Is my child too young for this?

If your child can enjoy cutting, colouring and/or dressing up the dolls, then they’re old enough. You don’t need to pass on information that they might not be ready for. They will let you know when they are ready to know more by asking you questions. The parent’s guides included with the activity packs will help you answer those questions in a way that feels comfortable to you, and that reflects your child’s age and stage of development.

What if I don’t know what to talk about?

If you’re unsure about what to talk about, then that’s fine! As there is a Parent Guide with lots of suggestions on how to get started. You’ll also find conversation starters with ideas on what to talk about.
