🌟 More Pieces, More Creativity! — With 48 magnetic wooden blocks, children mix and match 16 adult heads, 16 kid heads, 8 big and 8 small torsos, and 8 big and 8 small legs to build families, friends, and whole communities. Every combination is different. Every story is theirs.
🌍 Diversity and Inclusion at Play — Designed to represent multiple ethnicities, genders, and family structures — including multiracial families, same-sex parents, single-parent homes, and blended families. Children build what they know, and ask questions about what they don't. That's where the real conversations start.
🧠 Supports Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) — Used in Pyramid Model classrooms, Head Start programs, therapy settings, and early childhood education centers across the United States. As an SEL manipulative, it supports fine motor development, emotional literacy, empathy, problem-solving, and culturally responsive classroom environments. Among the wooden people figures sets evaluated within the Environment Rating Scales (ECERS/ITERS) framework used in early childhood program accreditation.
🌱 Eco-Friendly and Handcrafted — Made from sustainably sourced eco-friendly wood and coated with non-toxic, water-based paints. Safe, durable, and built for years of daily classroom and home use.
🏆 Award-Winning and Trusted — Parents Choice Gold Award winner. Featured in the Washington Post, CNN, and Good Morning America. Used by Bright Horizons, Primrose Schools, Goddard Schools, YMCA, Northeastern University, Penn State, and Erikson Institute across the United States.

Used in Classrooms, Therapy Rooms, and Family Homes.
The My Family Builders 48-Piece Magnetic Family Play Set is the most complete diversity toy available for early childhood education. With more than double the pieces of the 16-piece set and 50% more than the 32-piece set, programs and families can build complete communities — not just single families.
Hundreds of schools, therapy centers, Head Start programs, and university early childhood departments use it across the US. Teachers reach for it during circle time. Therapists keep it on the shelf next to their multicultural dolls and family figures. Parents pull it out when the conversation needs a starting point.
A culturally responsive classroom material built around one idea: every child deserves to see their family in the room.

I love the range of skin tones. This is a great representation of of how diverse families are! Thank you My Family Builders for making this a priority :) Our toy library families will LOVE to borrow this item!
My 3 year old absolutely loves this set. She plays with it for hours on her own, which is rare :). She loves making different types of people and pretend playing, or matching with the cards. So glad there is an engaging diverse toy for children!
These are such beautifully made toys! We especially love the diverse representation and the magnetic fun! The only feedback I would give is that the characters are very stereotypically gendered and it would be lovely to see some of them showing more gender diversity. We are so excited for our little one to play with these as blocks and later on through imaginative roleplaying games!
We love these blocks. The magnetic feature keeps my infant entertained and my two older kids love making the different family combinations. The quality is fabulous and we are really loving the conversations that naturally occur from the diversity of the characters.
This is a marvelous toy that provides hours of fun and good skill building. I am a grandmother who bought this for a 3 year old’s birthday. Not only are the magnetic parts great, the extra cards that provide games and challenges are also a wonderful addition. I especially love buying toys that are both entertaining and educational and this toy hits the mark!
We are so happy you like our toys!
Thank you for taking the time to share you kind and warm review!
Best regards,
