A teacher introduces a student to an anatomically correct doll in a
kindergarten classroom in central China. The dollies are simply meant to
teach kids about the age-appropriate subjects of anatomy and how babies
are made -- this is "sex ed" in its most basic form. The blog
Shanghaiist describes a scene from this particular classroom: "[The
teacher] asked the class how sperm swims to find the egg, with her
students replying by clasping their hands together and moving them in a
side-to-side tadpole-like swimming motion." Say it with me now: Awww.
The
anatomically correct dolls made by the Amamanta Family are meant to
help parents with “the birds and the bees” talk. The mommy doll above
demonstrates pregnancy and childbirth — and each breast is adorned with a
button that snaps right into the baby doll’s creepy metal-socket mouth.

educational dolls, known as Tak and Kar Kar, were developed by the
Family Planning Association of Hong Kong. Like the dolls mentioned
earlier that are used in mainland China, these come with detailed

praise the Wondrous Vulva Puppet, sold by Vulva University. These
potpourri-infused numbers are intended for curious children and adults
alike. Each silk and velvet vag is named after a goddess and goes for
$125 a pop each. Vulva University

A Bodies sells families of anatomically correct dolls that are used for
everything from “the sex talk” to interviewing kids believed to have
been sexually abused. They also offer life-size models that the company
claims have been a “tremendous success” in teaching sex ed at schools
for the blind.
This
is Teach A Bodies’ life-size Birth-a-Baby, which, well, I’ll let the
product description speak for itself: “The baby comes inside a cloth
uterus with detachable umbilical cord and placenta.” Check out the
attention to detail: “The baby can be removed from the uterus through
the cervix or the Caesarean opening.” Teach A Bodies
