PaperDoll Friends by Cath Hakanson

The perfect activity for starting shame-free conversations about bodies that includes the private parts

This is dress-up with a difference Play and Learn: PaperDoll Friends is jam-packed with outfits and costumes for kids to colour in and for the ten super-cute friends to wear. Even better, your kids will learn a thing or two about the human body as they cut, colour, and play.

The brainchild of sex educator Cath Hakanson, Play and Learn: PaperDoll Friends is the perfect way for parents to start talking to their kids about anatomy and gender, and is judgment-free, multicultural, and-most importantly-loads of fun

Featuring ten diverse dolls and over twenty costumes, Play and Learn: PaperDoll Friends will keep your children entertained and educated for hours on end. The only limit is their imagination Also included:

• 'Note to the Reader' on the importance of facilitating open and honest conversations about bodies and anatomy with your children.
• Suggestions on getting started and what to do if your child doesn't respond.
• Discussion guide for talking to kids about genitals, diversity, biological sex, gender (including transgender), gender stereotypes, same-sex relationships, private body parts, body safety and nudity.

Hakanson, Cath: - Cath Hakanson has been talking to clients about sex for the past 25 years as a nurse, midwife, sex therapist, researcher, blogger and educator. She's spent the past 10 years trying to unravel why parents (herself included) struggle with sex education. Her solution was to create Sex Ed Rescue, an online resource that simplifies sex education and helps parent to empower their children with the right information about sex, so kids can talk to their parents about anything, no matter what. Cath has lived all over Australia but currently lives in Perth with her partner, 2 children, and ever-growing menagerie of pets. Despite having an unusual profession, she bakes, sews, and knits for sanity, collects sexual trivia, and tries really hard not to embarrass her children in public. Well, most of the time anyway!
