Activity 2.3 | Children’s Books helping to create a vision of inclusivity

Think about all the materials in your centre. 

How are the toys, puzzles, and the physical environment depicting varying cultures and ways of living in this world? 

Make a list of all of the visible cultures that you see in your materials and space. Now think about the families in your community. 

• Are the materials and space reflective of your families?
• Do you have pictures of the families that attend your centre or are the pictures from magazines that represent different cultures? 
• Is there a difference between the two? 
• Who do you think young children would connect to?

Capture your reflections in your journal.
