Ok so I had a bit of a shocking incident this morning and need peoples opinion and advice please.

Two of my little ones playing in the home corner and they say we need another baby so I say "Here's one" and point to a doll which happens to be black, to which my almost 4 year old mindee says "no we don't want that one, we don't like black" !!!!!!!!!!!!

I was so shocked it took me a couple of minutes to register what she'd said. Once I'd composed myself I took her to one side and asked here where she'd heard that, she said she didn't know so I tried to explain that people shouldn't be judged by the colour of their skin, but obviously in a child friendly way.

Not sure what to do now, if I talk to parents I've a feeling they're just going to laugh about it, I'm quite ashamed at the moment to say they're my friends so could be awkward.

Should I just try to focus a little more on multi-cultural activities and things with the little one?
