Here are ways to diversify your child’s playroom with diversity toys, multiracial dolls and ethnically inclusive books to help raise race-conscious kids
By now most people are clued up on the importance of educating our children about race, to ensure inclusion and anti-racism, especially in a culturally diverse place like Singapore. If you think your toddler is too young to understand race, here’s why that’s not the case. But how do you bring this message to your young kids in an everyday way? The most common dolls at the toy store are caucasian and you may have to actively hunt out books that feature diverse races. So we round up some great toys –from action figures to games to multiracial, anatomically correct dolls, that will help diversify your child’s playroom and make inclusion the norm. Looking to educate yourself first? Check out our anti-racism resources for parents!
We still have a lot of work to do before stories of racism are no longer the norm. When your child grows up with discussions about racism, has a racially diverse circle of friends, plays with diversity toys and reads books that also represent all ethnic groups, here’s hoping we are helping raise a new generation of kind and accepting anti-racists.
