International Women’s Day is a day to reflect on the past and present, honour the women who have paved the way, take stock of what still needs to be done, and commit to continue working towards gender equality.
To recognize, celebrate
and take action for International Women’s Day 2018, we went to social media and
asked our Fit 4 Two® participants and
alumni to recommend books, toys and other parenting resources that promote
gender equality. Here is the result.
A Mighty Girl www.amightygirl.com This website was recommended again and
again. We found out why. It is an exhaustive collection of suggested
toys, books, music and more. Bonus:
Everything is separated into age groups.
Let’s just say we are now frequent visitors.
Books recommend by Fit 4 Two® Parents. We have included amazon links as this seems to
be to go-to for most of our clients, but we recommend checking your local
library and independent books stores as well.

GoldieBlox is the award-winning children’s multimedia company disrupting the pink
aisle in toy stores globally and challenging gender stereotypes with the
world’s first girl engineer character. They have since expanded their collection
to include STEM toys that promote gender equality. We found the best selection at www.mastermindtoys.com in store and
online.
