Role-play vets
Have you ever seen such a pitiful looking kitten? Good job the vet is on hand with raisin tablets to bring her temperature down.
To make our vets kit we used our doctors’ set and added in some cotton wool, cotton buds, a jar of raisin tablets, some water to go in our syringe to irrigate any wounds, and some bandages made from an old muslin cloth.
Role playing is a great way for children to rehearse everyday situations and try out new experiences. It’s also a really good way for them to develop their language and practise co-operating with others as they play. Do your children enjoy role playing?
Happily shared with ABCand123 and Childhood101

That sure is one sorry looking kitten! I’ve never tried vets before, but given the love that a number of our girls have of pretending to be cats I’m sure it would be a hit. Think I will give it ago tomorrow!
Jenny – hope they have fun with it!
bandages always turn out to be mummys and Indiana Jones here!
So sweet! My boys (4 and 2) have been playing “pretend sleepovers” this morning with a load of quilts and pillows on the floor and some imaginary babies. Such fun!
Hi GHerkin, sounds like fun. Play is rarely tidy in our house!
That’s a good variation Mrs. MadHouse – I bet they tie you up, do they?
Oh! Poor, poor kitten!
We ALWAYS role play doctors, even for the animals, and when our kit arrived saying it was a vet kit (A doctor kit which included a dog, therefore a vet!) I must say, our doctor is very fond of giving needles. Repeatedly, For anything. Ouch!
Poor kitty. I’m glad the raisins fixed her right up.
How cute! My husband is a veterinarian, but when my girls pretend to be vets they are always doing a surgery!! I think they’ve seen too many of them and not enough exams!
Hi Stacie – I bet they have some good props to use then!
Yes Ticia, the prognosis is good
Thanks for stopping by Amandab
We love role-play – I have several posts about it! I love your addition of the raisin “tablets” to the kit!
Anne, those raisins workd a treat. Might have to try them on the kids for real!
Oh that sad kitten in the first picture. Heartbreaking. I’m so glad the vet was there to fix her right up.
Marita, I pleased to report she made a full recovery
Immy has just discovered doctor play and with her love of animals I am sure that a vet surgery is not too far away. Your list of items is a great resource.
Thanks for linking up to We Play, it would be great if you could include a link back to the meme in your post as well.
