Good idea about not just using colors as some children cannot differentiate between with color deficiencies.

I can't imagine anyone being offended by Sunbonnet Sue & Sam as the whole point of the signs is to differentiate between girls and boys, right? If the restroom is not able to be gender neutral (one person use) then you have no choice. And any other sign is a simple representation of girl or boy.

I think the smiling sun in pink/blue should be okay. I like that idea and its child friendly.

These are cute and I really do like them.

But as for washroom signs, they are not really representative of girls/boys.
... after all guys wear pink, and gals wear blue!

If there is a lot of political correctness in this organization, they probably wouldn't approve of those gender indicators either.

Instead of something quilted, could you take pictures of a group of girls and a group of boys?

I like the Batman/Wonder Woman one too. I think most kids would relate to that. I also think PC has been taken to extremes in a lot of cases. JMHO

One of the signs had a circle (like a lifesaver) and two candy cane shapes, feet spaced apart and narrow at top for girls, feet together and wider "shoulders" for boys. I thought it was cute. Don't understand the "peeping" ones, very inappropriate, and I am usually very open minded!
