Peg People of the World - 10 Pieces

The Peg People of the World set provides a simple yet powerful way to introduce children to diversity and inclusion through play. This set of 10 beautifully crafted wooden peg figures represents the different skin tones of people from around the world, encouraging discussions about similarities, differences, and shared human experiences.

This set is an excellent educational resource for classrooms and homes, promoting equality and representation in early childhood learning. Whether used for dramatic play, storytelling, or social-emotional learning, the Peg People of the World set helps children develop an appreciation for different backgrounds while reinforcing the idea that, despite external differences, we are all connected as people.
