Wooden Family - Set of 6

Encourage creativity, storytelling, and inclusive representation with the Wooden Family - Pack of 6, an engaging craft and play-based resource designed to support both artistic expression and imaginative role play. This charming wooden family set includes 1 mum, 1 dad, 1 sister, 1 brother, and 2 younger siblings, offering children the opportunity to craft a representation of their own family or creatively design alternative family members such as grandparents, cousins, aunts, uncles, or even pets.

Perfect for 'All About Me' projects, this activity invites children to reflect on and celebrate their family structure, writing stories about shared experiences, family life, or holidays. The wooden figures are a blank canvas ready for transformation with acrylic paints, joggle eyes, wool for hair, and cut-out felt for clothing, making it a highly customisable craft. Once completed, these wooden characters can be used in doll houses, puppet shows, presentations, or dramatic play scenarios, encouraging further learning through play. This is a hands-on resource that continues to support development long after the crafting is complete.
