Classroom Kit

Based on the book which was shortlisted for the Children’s Book of the Year Awards 2016, this resource is unlike previous sexuality education teaching resources. The Amazing True Story of How Babies Are Made presents an inclusive and contemporary reflection of our community that all children will relate to. The resource is also inclusive of today’s medical advancements that are enhancing reproduction possibilities.

 As a multi-platform production, The Amazing True Story of How Babies Are Made is available as:

• A 22-minute, three part animated series for children,

• A curriculum-based Classroom Kit for teachers and students to use at school, and

• A Family Learning Resource for home based follow-up and learning.

Each facet of the multi-platform production is designed to compliment and enhance the other. It is tailored for teachers to use as is appropriate to their pedagogical needs and their students’ development.
