specially made toys created for medical play, such as toy
doctor kits, a patient puppet, a doll sized MRI or hospital
bed. Children often use this type of medical play to re-enact
events they have experienced.

This also involves role playing medical themes. However,
traditional play materials, blocks, doll houses, cars, trucks
and stuffed animals are used to create roles and stories for

children who choose this type of medical play later progress to
using medical equipment.

play.

themselves, their understanding of and reactions to their
medical experience. Art activities can vary greatly, including
painting, drawing, collage and 3D sculptures.

glue offer a wide range of choices. Including some medical
materials, such as band aids, plasters, gauze and tongue
depressors can enhance the medical theme.
