Little People Like Me

The Little People Like Me set is a beautiful and inclusive resource designed to reflect the diversity of children in our communities. This set includes 10 small play figures, each with a different skin tone and neutral facial expression, encouraging children to project their own stories, emotions, and identities onto the characters. Made from a tactile and durable stone and resin mix, these figures are suitable for both indoor and outdoor play. At 50mm tall, they're perfectly sized for small hands to grasp, making them ideal for small-world play, sensory tubs, and role play scenes. The open-ended nature of the figures allows children to explore emotions, relationships, and social scenarios in a safe and creative way. The diverse representation promotes inclusion and belonging, helping children see themselves-and others-reflected in their play. Whether used as part of a family set, a storytelling activity, or as part of a discussion around community and identity, these figures support holistic development through play-based learning.
