My Family - Wooden People Set - The Freckled Frog

Celebrate diversity, identity and belonging through play with the My Family Wooden People Set by The Freckled Frog. This beautifully illustrated 30-piece set represents a diverse cross-section of the community, featuring wooden people of different ages, cultural backgrounds and genders.

Designed to support open-ended role-play and storytelling, the set helps children explore family relationships, communities and everyday experiences while encouraging conversations about inclusion, equality and belonging. It can also support children as they develop a sense of identity and begin to recognise similarities and differences between themselves and others.

Each chunky wooden figure is easy for young children to grasp and handle, with pieces ranging from approximately 6cm to 8cm high and measuring 2cm thick. Made from FSC-certified New Zealand pine, the illustrations are applied using non-toxic heat transfer technology and finished with a clear matt varnish for added durability.
