Pretend Play Families - Asian Family

This 8-piece Asian Family set is an essential resource for your small world provision, designed to foster a sense of belonging and respect for cultural diversity from an early age. The contemporary figures represent multiple generations, from a tiny baby to a wise grandpa, enabling children to explore family roles, relationships, and life stages. Their realistic detailing and ability to stand freely make them ideal for open-ended play in dollhouses, construction areas, or alongside other small world resources. By introducing figures that reflect different backgrounds, you naturally promote empathy, combat stereotypes, and support the 'Understanding the World' curriculum. This set encourages rich imaginative narratives, dramatic play, and valuable discussions about community and identity. The tallest figure stands at 13cm, perfectly scaled for children aged 3+ years.
