A hands-on way to make body talks easier (and less awkward!)

Your child is curious about bodies – and sometimes words or flat pictures just don’t cut it.
That’s where these DIY anatomical models come in. Using clay, you can create 3D, anatomically correct models that make learning about private parts clear, safe, and memorable.

Designed by sexual health nurse and educator Cath Hakanson, this step-by-step activity gives you a practical, shame-free way to explore body parts, hygiene, differences, and even trickier topics like masturbation or sexual development – in a way that’s age-appropriate and guided by your values.

With this resource, you can:

  • Turn curiosity into learning – satisfy “What’s that?” moments without mystery or embarrassment.
  • Make body knowledge stick – 3D models help kids understand and remember more than flat diagrams.
  • Build trust and connection – show your child they can come to you for answers about their body.
  • Tackle tricky topics – from hygiene to pleasure, boundaries to anatomy, all at a pace that feels right for your family.

What’s inside:

  • Digital, step-by-step photo instructions for modelling an anus, clitoris, vulva, and penis (with and without a foreskin).
  • Guidance for making the activity safe, inclusive, and age-appropriate.
  • Ideas for using the models in everyday conversations about:
    • Body parts and differentces
    • Hygiene and self-care
    • Safe masturbation
    • Sexual development
    • Answering awkward questions with confidence

Make it work for your family

You stay in control of how much detail to share. If your child is younger, you might only model the outer parts and focus on names and hygiene. For older children or teens, you can build in more detail to support discussions about development, pleasure, or safe touch.

You don’t need to be artistic to get great results. Each stage of the process is photographed clearly so you can follow along, even if clay modelling isn’t usually your thing.

And because every family has their own values, the guide leaves room for you to choose the language and topics that fit your beliefs, making it as adaptable as it is practical.

Bring your conversations to life

You don’t need artistic skills – just some clay, your hands, and these instructions.
Books are great. But models? They’re the ultimate show-and-tell.

FAQ

Guarantee

Suitable for parents of children aged between 6 to 18 years.

How easy is it to create these anatomical models? Are they user-friendly for someone with no prior experience?
Absolutely. As long as you follow the step-by-step instructions, you’ll be fine! My teenager has made them, as well as other children aged as young as 6 and as old as 18. Younger children may just need a little help.

Some models are easier than others – the penis and anus are the simplest to make, the clitoris is a little trickier, and the vulva is the most detailed because it has more parts.

What materials will I need?
You can use air-dry clay, play dough, plasticine, or any modelling clay. You could even use pastry, biscuit, or bread dough! You can buy clay ready-made or make your own at home.

Do I have to make these with my kids?
Not at all! You can make them on your own first and then use them for teaching. Some parents like to have the models ready before a conversation, while others enjoy making them together as part of the discussion. There’s no “right” way – it’s whatever works best for you and your child.

How can I use them once they’re made?
You can bring them out for body anatomy chats, use them alongside books or diagrams, or keep them handy for when a tricky question pops up. They’re especially useful for showing size, shape, and parts in a 3D way – something that flat pictures just can’t match.

Can these models help address misconceptions or confusion about genital anatomy and function?
Yes – that’s one of their biggest strengths. Because they’re realistic and labelled, they make it much easier to explain what’s what. You can hold them in your hand or place them over your body to show where they are, then talk through their function and purpose in an age-appropriate way.

Won’t this be embarrassing?
It might feel awkward at first – but using a model takes the focus off you and puts it on the object, which can actually make conversations easier. Kids often respond with curiosity rather than embarrassment when they see you being relaxed and matter-of-fact. And the more you use them, the more natural it feels for both of you.

Still have a question?
Just click the chat button in the bottom corner of your screen and ask away – I’m happy to help 😊

You will not receive a physical product in the mail. Instead, you will receive access to a digital file, which you can print out or view on a screen.

This allows you to make as many copies as you'd like for your own family’s use.

A wonderful resource for talking about private body parts

Making these models has made it easier to talk about this important topic however I feel like a instructional video resource may have been better for some children but apart from that this is a excellent tool for you to use

That is a fantastic suggestion! I've just ordered a 'fancy pants' tripod that will allow me to do an overhead video, so I will record (and include) some videos! Thank you!

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.
