Your favourite childhood paper dolls just got a modern makeover! Featuring people with all anatomies and families in all flavours, our paper activity helps your child to see the world’s diversity.
This activity includes ten characters and over 30 costumes for hours of happy play. It contains a collection of naked bodies with a penis, vulva, and “draw your own” anatomy. It’s a gentle introduction to the idea that our bodies are similar, but also different.
Costumes include wheelchairs, walking aids and even hijabs so that your child can fill their world with all kinds of people. Plus the Superheroes have masks, capes, and walking aids. People come in dozens of shapes, colours, and sizes. Welcome to a world where everyone is welcome!
While they cut, colour and paste, your child is learning:
What are the names for body parts, and which ones are private?
What does transgender mean?
What choices do we have about our bodies and relationships?
You will learn how to:
Foster body positivity: Encourage your child to appreciate and embrace the diversity of human bodies, help them develop positive self-image and promote acceptance of others.
Promote anatomical knowledge: Teach your child the correct anatomical names for private parts, and empower them with accurate information about their bodies.
Explore gender identity: Provide a safe and inclusive platform for your child to explore different gender identities, understand the concept of being transgender, and embrace gender diversity.
Learn about intersex bodies: Educate your child about intersex bodies, and foster empathy, understanding, and acceptance towards individuals with diverse biological characteristics.
Enhance body safety awareness: Engage your child in discussions about body safety, boundaries, and consent, and empower them with the knowledge to protect themselves and others.
Encourage creativity and self-expression: Spark your child's imagination and creativity through the interactive paper doll activity sheets, and allow them to express themselves and create unique characters.
It’s perfect for starting a serious conversation. Or you can just put out the crayons and let them loose with their imagination! Sometimes listening is just as good as talking.

❓ Can I use this activity more than once?
Yes! You can re-print them multiple times (for your own family’s use only).
❓ Won’t this encourage my child to ask questions?
I hope so! Children are naturally curious and full of questions. Where would you like them to get their answers? Their friends? Google? Or you? By enjoying these activities with your child you are showing them that you are a safe person to ask.
❓ Is my child too young for this?
If your child can enjoy cutting, colouring and/or dressing up the dolls, then they’re old enough. You don’t need to pass on information that they might not be ready for. They will let you know when they are ready to know more by asking you questions. The parent’s guides included with the activity packs will help you answer those questions in a way that feels comfortable to you, and that reflects your child’s age and stage of development.
❓ What if I don’t know what to talk about?
If you’re unsure about what to talk about, then that’s fine! As there is a Parent Guide with lots of suggestions on how to get started. You’ll also find conversation starters with ideas on what to talk about.
❓ I have one more question...
Click on the bright pink 'Message Me' button (in the bottom right hand corner of your screen) and ask me!

Sex Education Answer Book - great resource
This has been a great resource so far - reading it has given me more confidence in the way I am already opening conversations with my kids and giving me more information and ideas to further those conversations.
In our days, kids are exposed to different sources where they can learn about sex. This has been a real concern for me as a mom. I want to instill in my kids my family's values when it comes to sex! As a parent, we need to be clear about what are our culture's in general and family's in particular sexual values and beliefs. Thanks Cath, this has been amazing!
Great overview of child sexual development. Never had exposure to this type of knowledge. Now I know what to expect and what to look out for. Extremely valuable content and helpful tips for talking to our kids too!
Great resource for those of us who are overwhelmed
I grew up in a conservative home and my sex education was abstinence-only, catholic school education. I knew I wanted to do better by my kids but didn't know where or how to start. Cath broke it down into step-by-step instructions that eased my need to deep dive into researching the healthiest way to approach the subject of sex. She did all the hard work for me! She provides different prompt recommendation depending on your family's values which I really appreciate. I didn't have any examples of a healthy conversation growing up but Cath gives excellent suggestions to get you started - no matter how much or little you want to share. I ended this course feeling relieved, directed and confident that my kids will have a healthier relationship with sex than I ever did. It is a must have, first step for any adult looking to do better!
I've been following and reading a lot about how to better educate my kids about sex and everything that goes into it. I love the approach, the simplicity it brings to having these conversations and adds a layer of comfort for me too.
I really appreciated how the topics were broken down to simplify sensitive topics for kids. It made it manageable with a topic that can be uncomfortable.
This easy to use book is so helpful. It's sometimes hard to know what is age appropriate information or what to say on the spot. I find her examples so helpful in curating responses to other random questions but also how to incorporate in your every day life. It's not a one time conversation. Thank you Cath.
As always Cath is a life/time saver. I was thinking I needed to come up with something regarding internet safety that outlined our family rules. I opened my inbox and Cath had shared a new resource about this very subject. It was just what I was looking for but saved me time and energy. I like how she offers the resource for different age groups (readers and non readers). Thank you once again.
This is perfect timing as I found some photos on my daughter's iPad of her private parts! So this will help me to teach her what our family rules are. We have already printed out the little book, and colouring in one page a day! Thank you!!!!!!!
Cath has provided invaluable insight & signposting for a really tricky situation! I’d be a hysterical hot mess without her guidance & support. I am so grateful for her work in this field!
Buy the course. It’s money well spent.
There’s a clue in the name, “SexEd rescue”. Cath really is the SexEd safety net for bewildered patents.
I bought this because my husband and I were disagreeing about sex education. It helped us both sit down and really think about what our values were, and together decide which ones to share with our kiddos!
Helpful information, but inconsistent in one major area.
I found the masterclass to be thorough and centered on developing a healthy sense of autonomy and self-exploration for children. One aspect that was confusing was that Cath repeatedly went over the importance of kids understanding that masturbation is something that they must only do in private- which I agree, is critical- yet she also said that kids masturbating with each other is totally normal and "okay" so long as they aren't touching each other. While curiosity and exploration might be developmentally expected, children need clear and consistent boundaries around privacy so that they are not vulnerable to sexual abuse by peers or adults.
Hi Ariel, and thanks for bringing that up! I have gone back into the Masterclass and have found what you are referring to.
There is a section (WHO masturbates and how this behaviour changes as your child grows up - What is developmentally appropriate behaviour?) that talks about the sexual behaviours a child may display as they grow up.
I have used a European tool and they explain that children may want to masturbate with others, and if they do it is seen as being developmentally approriate behaviour, as long as they are only masturbating themselves and not touching other people's penises.
So... this is where it starts to get confusing, as just because a behaviour is seen as being age-appropriate, it doesn't mean that we let them keep on doing it. We would discourage it and ensure they know it is a private thing (not public).
I'll jump into the Masterclass and add a note into this section of the readable notes.
I hope this makes sense! Cheers, Cath

This class provides good information and advice on this difficult subject

Thank you, literally a life saver
I found Cath's masterclass brilliant! So reassuring, to the point, practical, complete.
Gave me the knowledge, motivation, words I needed to feel confident to start the conversation with my kids. Also it was a gentle way to open our eyes as parents and get us to be responsible for our kids knowledge .
