Campaign: MyFamilyBuilders: A Wooden Toy That Celebrates Diversity!

Why are toy store shelves filled with rows and rows of doll sets that all look the same: one mom, one dad, a boy, and a girl from the same race?

Unfortunately, these toys impose limitations on a child’s understanding of family. MyFamilyBuilders toy-set removes these limitations and opens children’s eyes to a world of possibilities.

MyFamilyBuilders is a fun and educational toy set that empowers kids to imagine freely and build thousands of possible combinations of friends and families that are as unique as they are. Magnetic wooden blocks that snap together to let kids build all sorts of characters and discover family diversity comprises a toy-set that includes five card games that create “teachable-moments” for parents to help their children understand and learn that differences are something to be celebrated.

The creators behind the unique toy set are ready to press the green button and begin manufacturing. All they need is support to fulfill the minimum order required by the manufacturer to bring the first truly diverse toy to the world.

The campaign’s goal is $25,000.
