Product Information

Ask the children to consider how they can celebrate the differences that make us all beautiful with this lovely muted rainbow-coloured poster. A beautiful poster to display in your classroom throughout the year, but also in your staff room. A casual visit to a local museum or exhibition may inspire you to create something yourself, and heighten your desire to learn about a new topic or culture. Even if you cannot make the trip to a museum, there are several virtual exhibitions you can tour. For example, you can see the British Museum's collection online, and the National Gallery has a virtual tour of 18 rooms that lets you get up close to the paintings. We Are All Different' features a diverse range of characters to inspire learning, and is stunningly illustrated throughout to bring the themes and ideas to life. With this EYFS diversity storybook, you can show children the beauty of being different. It also helps them realize that we're all humans, despite differences in how we look or dress, or what we eat or celebrate. Games and activities offer a fun way for young children to learn about differences and similarities among people and to introduce the concept of diversity. All types of differences such as race, religion, language, traditions, and gender can be introduced this way.

This We Are All Different and That Is Beautiful Inspirational Poster has been designed to encourage children to think positively about their differences and what makes them unique and how this is embraced and celebrated in the classroom.
