Family Diversity Blocks

The Family Diversity Blocks are an engaging and inclusive educational tool designed to help children explore a variety of family structures.

With 33 colourful pieces, including 12 activity sheets and a brochure, these blocks encourage open discussions about diversity, empathy, and social understanding. Ideal for children aged 2+, the blocks allow students to build and explore different family scenarios, fostering respect and acceptance for all family models.

Each piece represents diverse characters and family situations, making it a perfect resource for teaching children about the variety of families in our world today. Whether it's single-parent families, multi-generational households, or LGBTQ+ families, this set helps children understand that every family is unique and valuable.
