For parents with disabled children, the pain of being left out is all too familiar.
Whether it’s at the playground, or in school, or even in the clothes they can wear, disabled children know how to feels to be excluded.
Which is why the rise of toys with disabilities is a huge step forward towards inclusivity.
The online campaign, Toys Like Me, and its hashtag by the same name, has sparked a shift in the right direction when it comes to inclusive toys. Brands like Makies, AmericanGirl, and My Little Pony have joined the cause and have released a range of limited edition dolls with disabilities, which will soon be made available to the general public.
These toys come with removable hearing aids, glasses, walking frames, portwine marks, and cleft lips – all of which work towards making sure children with disabilities aren’t left out.
Some parents are even customising store-bought dolls, like this Tinkerbell with a hearing aid.
And this Bratz doll with a prosthetic leg.
This My Little Pony has been given glasses and a cane.
Whilst this made-under Bratz has a walking frame.
