- Taken from acquisition worksheet; ref. 4: Statistics Canada published an exploratory report that examined the nature of family dynamics in Canada from 1961 to 2011. This report found that during the 50-year period between 1961 and 2011, considerable social and economic changes occurred in Canada that influenced evolving family dynamics. In summary, these findings showed that: 1) Over time, the share of married-couple families has decreased; 2) the share of lone-parent families has increased; 3) families and households have become smaller; and 4) there is a larger share of persons not in census families. (ref.1) A set of wooden, magnetic dolls for children of all ages, “MyFamilyBuilders” allows kids to construct toy people that reflect the diverse nature of families in the 21st century - whether that means through skin colour, sexual orientation, gender identity, multiple sets of parents, etc… According to the donor, there is nothing else on the market that incorporates this level of inclusivity into a children’s game.
Taken from acquisition worksheet; ref. 4: This game incorporates a simple system of magnetic blocks that connect a base, body, and head.
