I have little note cards - of thanks, good wishes, cheer, encouragement - an assortment.

I got 'em at Michael's.

They have kids drawn on them and they are cute.

I just noted they are all Blonde/blue kids. :o

The kid I wish to thank already has a Barbie complex - wants to be blonde/blue insteady of her beautiful dark hair and complexion. :no:

I feel so insensitive for never noticing before. :lonely:

Yes I DO have crayons!!! At home and markers at work! And sometimes I get to DRAW and COLOR with them too!! :bigwhoop:

SOMETIMES I 'm good at sharing, but I won't be if it brings out Miss Mellie of the
BIG RED LETTERS


(Or were you refering to the Crayola Trainer Thread on TOB??) :o

Yeah - her mom and i got talking about it and I recall the same thing as a kid: but it was always that DAMM DICK getting to "Oh oh!" and play with Spot, the bike and the fire engine while all JAne got to do was go "Oh Oh!" :no: :mallet:

Aww DQ good of you to notice.

As our daughter is African American, we are always looking for toys and things that are diverse... it is really hard!!! Mr. FG snatched up the ONLY black baby doll he could find when toy shopping.

You'd think with all the diversity in the American gene pool that marketing/products/etc would be a bit more diverse!!!

Exactly!!!

My mom is a doll collector - and she loves diverse dolls. When the Cabbage Patch :spew: craze was out she wanted a AA boy doll and an AA girl doll and wondered if there would be Asian, etc. The Toys R Us woman looked at us like we were slave traders or something. Mom loves her collection to be diverse! Its way cooler then the blonde/blue whoo haaa that is out there, IMO.

But yeah, can someone point me to diverse note cards please????

Thanks!!

heiny, my awesome SS last year jm had them done for me- people *always* comment.

DQ, you could look into them, there are all combos of skin colours and themes.
Also, 1000 Villages or whatever it's called would have some, also Unicef, and often the city zoo type places that support diversity and environmentalism. Oh- churches often do too. Expecially at events where they have sponsered a country's group to come and perform eg young singers
