It all started with a doctor kit for Christmas. The little girls can't stop playing with it and dragging other family members in to be patients.
The little cardboard badge broke the first day, SO I made little badges for the kids....
Jacob drew some cute cartoon patients for me. We have a Pregnant Polly, Coughing Cathy, Stan Stitches, Heart Attack Henry....They are hung on a little ring so that we as patients have different "ideas" of characters we can be. I also made a simple sheet for them to do their documentation. I just laminated it and attached it to a clip board so they can use it over and over. In the medical profession there is A LOT of documenting so they better learn that now....
Then we use a couple white karate jackets. You could take a men's white t-shirt and cut it up the middle to make an oversize doctor jacket. I grabbed a few masks the last time I was at the doctor's office.
I also added some real wrap bandages for them to fix each other up. I had a bottle of M&M pills, but for some reason the doctors feel like they need them more than the patient. The pills NEVER last.
Oh pretend play is fun.... 
I was talking with my sister Kristy and she was telling me how her girls made badges to play office with typing, filing and all that being busy little secretary stuff. I think my next badges will be a set for office pretend play. I even have "The Office" font.....
That is so cool, I love the badges!!
ReplyDeleteThis is so cute! I love the M&M part. I don't think M&Ms would last too over at my house either...my husband would have them all eaten within minutes. Love the idea! Thanks for sharing :)
ReplyDeleteThis is so cute...you are so creative!
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful idea! Thanks for sharing it. My kids would love a play set like that. I'll have to put one together for them.
ReplyDeleteCute cute cute! Our youngest is in a "Space" phase right now... astronaut helmets out of milk jugs, cereal box jet packs with 2liter air tanks, cardboard control panels, a moving box space shuttle and a glow in the dark stars planetarium in the bathroom with no windows... I keep teasing that they have to keep it clean in that zero gravity environment. So tempted to sneak in at night and hang all the stuff on the floor from fishing wire so that it looks like its floating! The badges would be a fun addition to this.
ReplyDeleteI can't be the only one who is dying for a .png version of the badge so I can make my own, am I?! I'd LOVE to see this and more badges. Too, too cute!
