Cre8tive Minds Marvel Education MTC-164 Friends with Diverse Abilities Figure Set, Grade: Kindergarten to 3

I like this item. It’s perfect for decoration.

These sturdy figures were originally marketed to schools and day cares, so they are meant to stand up to hard play and abuse. Children can stand on them, throw them, pound with them, and they will hold up fine. We've had them at my library where I am the children's librarian for two years, and they are like new. We also have the community helpers set. I like the diversity, both of ethnic groups and of gender roles. The only two things I don't like about this set are 1) the boy in the wheelchair has a ball, which sometimes interferes with what the children are imagining when they play with him. For instance, if they are pretending he is at a wedding the ball is not appropriate. The second thing is that they keep thinking the girl with an eye patch is a pirate, which is kind of cute, actually. I bought this set for our 3 year old girl, and four year old boy. I noticed when their GG (great grandma) was using a walker after surgery they played with the walker lady a lot, and referred to her as GG. So, these figures could be used either just as a general way to help little ones understand differing abilities, or to help them specifically process their feelings if a loved one has health changes that requires a wheelchair, walker, etc. My real kids at home, and my library kids, love to play with these figures.

These are Great! The only thing is I wish the company would make the ppl younger like elementary through middle school aged.Also, I wish they would make the ppl be able to move their arms or legs not stuck together like statues. People with disabilities are not statues, show all that they are capable of. Maybe add some items that they use and pictures of how they use every day objects. Could start a whole collection. The kids would like a toy more if they could move it a little more. Action hero's with disabilities.

These type dolls are perfect for younger children who can't dress / undress dolls or are a little rough and tend to pull off arms and legs like mine did with the other ones I had. My 4 year old daughter and 2 year old son LOVE these dolls and carry them around everywhere! We got 4 different sets so that they can play with the different families together. Just like the ones they have in their daycare classes. They are not bendable but that is what kept making the other ones we had break so I prefer these. Fast shipping too! Take a look at all the other styles and you can make quite a diverse collection to expose your children to other races, disabilities and careers. These got quite a discussion going with my daughter about people we know who have different conditions that she recognized and she has named most of them now to reflect. What a great teaching experience!
