Family Diversity Blocks – Inclusive Learning for Early Childhood
The Family Diversity Blocks are an engaging, hands-on educational resource designed to help children explore and understand a wide variety of family structures. Perfect for toy libraries, early learning centres, schools, and therapy clinics, this set promotes inclusion, empathy, and social understanding through interactive play.
With 33 colourful pieces, including 12 activity sheets and a brochure, children can build, explore, and discuss different family scenarios.

How do we calculate costs?
Shipping costs are based on the size and weight of the product and your location. Shipping is calculated and added to the total at checkout before payment.
Please note, in some circumstances, an order may attract an extra shipping fee due to unusually bulky or heavy item status or a remote / rural / regional address.*
* In a small number of cases the freight companies will charge us more than what is reasonable to pay to deliver an order, usually for large bulky items to regional locations. We reserve the right to vary our freight charge if this occurs and will advise you before processing your order.
In this instance, DEO will contact you prior to finalising the sale.
We deliver products using a number of local freight operators.
