I have quite a few multicultural toys/activities but apart from doll in wheelchair, I'm, not sure what to use to show inclusion.
Any ideas please.

I have some posters I be printed off, a matching game I found on the Internet and printed off. Books. Some figures with disabilities. Wheel chair in the fisherprice playhouse.
Thanks Blue Bear
Can I ask where you got the figures from?

I use the something special magazine but then I have a 14 month mindee who loves watching that at home apparently. I use the signs within the mag to sing the songs and rhymes, parents both work in a special school and teach her sign language too. For the display I have up at the minute I've photocopied and enlarged the signs from the magazine for under the sea. So we've signs for shells, fish, sea etc. up as well as words.
I have a number of books promoting positive images of or about disability for the children. I quite like Lucy's picture because you can have the picture made beforehand and as you read through the book get the children to experience what she's doing. Afterwards they can make their own sensory picture.
When we did the Chinese New Year theme we read The Seeing Stick, a story about a Chinese emperor's daughter who is blind. It's ultimate theme is about accepting and enabling and not changing, well it is in my eyes
I try to include disability awareness without making it a big deal in whatever we do, it's just there, or I hope I do.
That's brilliant. Using more of signing is a great addition. I could do sign pictures to coincide with my planning for each week/month.
Thanks so much.
