Teddy Bear Clinics

Teddy Bear Clinic Light box_edited.jpg

A Teddy Bear Clinic is a version of medical play where a teddy bear is used as the "patient" and the child is the "doctor" at a make-believe clinic visit. Activity stations include weighing and measuring, giving a check-up using toy and real medical supplies, looking at x-rays, making art out of medical supplies, and practicing coping skills. Children move through the room at their own pace and the play is spontaneous and child-directed. 

Your child will come away with a teddy bear of their own as well as a sense of agency and greater comfort with the very common experience of going to the doctor.
