Mum, where do babies come from?
All around the world, questions like this make new parents wince. Young children are incredibly curious, after all, and it's your job as a parent to encourage and satiate that curiosity. But when adult topics like sex, pregnancy and reproduction are on the table, where do you even begin?
With Play & Learn: Where Do Babies Come From?, that's where. The latest parenting resource from esteemed sex educator Cath Hakanson, Where Do Babies Come From? is the perfect and age-appropriate way to explain the mysteries of reproduction to curious kids. Using cut-out PaperDolls, illustrations, and dozens of discussion prompts and Q&As, parents can finally feel equipped to decisively tackle this infamously awkward topic.
Six baby PaperDolls of different ages and ethnicities are included, both cisgender and transgender-some with vulvas, some with penises, and some with hidden genitals-along with a huge variety of clothes, accessories, and disability aids, meaning your child is sure to feel represented. Additionally, using the included mum and dad PaperDolls, your child will be able to see how eggs and sperm are produced, what happens inside the uterus when a woman is pregnant, and how exactly this amazing process begins and ends.
Part super-fun activity book, part invaluable educational resource, Where Do Babies Come From? is the perfect way to start comfortable, cringe-free conversations with your child about pregnancy, babies, and anatomy.
