The Stepducks™ programs feature meddling relatives, two-faced friends, and all kinds of other troublesome and typical problems. There are practically no family issues the Stepducks™ can't address!

Our Mission

Our Mission is to encourage all people to recognize the fact that there can be no separation of family and education. Through the Stepduck's™ World of animation, we promote the importance of family inclusion in all levels of education in a very entertaining way. Families come in all forms and realize many levels of change. Lives are impacted by these changes. Changes are often uncomfortable but with proper adjustments they can be beneficial. Stepducks™ offers a resource for people who seek information about family, education, and change.

The Stepducks











Meet the Creator

Marvin Dale

Stepducks™ is a powerful resource for educating people of all ages about the issues and adventures stepfamilies face on a daily basis.
The characters are based solely on the author's (Marvin Dale) life as a father/stepfather and the antics of his children (Stepducks™ as he nicknamed them!).
He has recreated some of those adventures through animated cartoon characters who are extremely individual and hilarious, as are most pre-teens and teenagers. They provide a vivid picture of what life is "really" like in a stepfamily. They have real-life problems, situations, peer-pressures, desires, relationships, etc.
We promise you will fall in love with these characters while at the same time taking their message to heart. Stepfamilies can work!! Life is never easy, but if everyone can get on the same page, stepfamily- life can be a blast! Sit back and enjoy as Carlos, Sissy, Penny, DJ, and Pierre take you on an incredible journey through their lives as STEPDUCKS™!!
Stepducks™ are steppin' out into the schools!
Working closely with various areas of the local family court system and school system, Stepducks™ can convey a powerful, yet entertaining message through our informative literature, colorful books, community plays, workshops and speaking engagements.
Stepducks™ are the mascots to Stepfamily Day-September 16. The Stepducks™ encourage children and their parents to celebrate the joys, trials, and triumphs of the stepfamily on this day and throughout the year.
