Multicultural children’s toys

12 replies

Hi everyone,

I’m looking for recommendations on where to look for multicultural children’s toys. In particular I would like a quality wooden Noah’s Ark set complete with Noah and his wife but not white versions. The ones I have seen have had white figures which is not what I’m looking for for my daughter. It shouldn’t be this hard surely in 2021?! 🤷🏽‍♀️

Thank you.

I got dd dolls house from Asda and then ordered some black dolls from sorens house.

This one:

And this one

Unfortunately it is still this hard, dd wanted a 'lots to love' baby bath doll set for Xmas but they only sold the bath tub with a white doll included so I had to buy that and a black doll separately and ended up with 2 dolls and 1 tub. It's really frustrating.

Thank you all for taking the time to respond.
I hadn’t come across Lanka Kade, thanks for that.

Missing the point here sorry, but what was Noah's race and ethnic origin? Is it documented or just assumed?
Hope you find what you're looking for OP.

Isn’t Noah just a story??? Presumably as his ark was supposedly stuck on Mount Ararat I’d say he would be Armenian? Maybe he’s a distant relative of the Kardashians. Either way, fact or fiction, he didn’t originate from white, Western Europe.

It shouldn’t be hard it it is.
Not what you’re looking for, sorry, but I found some good multi-cultural hand-made dolls at London markets.

Morning @RedSquirrelsAreAwesome

I know you asked specifically for the figurines but I have purchased several times from this shop. They have a wide range of Christian books, toys, resources etc.

I saw this book www.eden.co.uk/noah-and-the-very-big-boat/

Which you may be interested in.
