As childbirth educators, we are always looking for interesting visual aids that making learning both fun and effective for the families in our classes.  This is even more important during this unique time of virtual learning, where all our engagement occurs digitally.

Lamaze International has partnered with MamAmor Dolls to offer an exclusive teaching tool that not only is interesting and creative, but helps support Lamaze International.  Business owner and designer Adriana Guerra has created the Lamaze MamAmor doll with the educator’s needs in mind.

Additionally,  these dolls can be used for any sibling preparation class that you may have on the docket.  These colorful and attractive dolls will happily draw the attention of even the youngest learners.  When you place your order, you can choose one of three skin tones and also have the option to purchase a doll that can be used to demonstrate both cesarean and vaginal births.
