Let’s Play Animal Hospital
Set up a pretend animal hospital. Be sure to include an examining table, areas for the animals to rest, cages and crates. The crates in this picture are containers or a storage cube turned on it’s side.Don’t forget to include all the props for examining the animals. Here are some suggested props besides a vet kit:
- paper towels or napkins with tape to make pretend casts
- crepe paper to wrap a sprained limb
- box of band aids
- small spray bottle – the kids love this. It just gives a little spritz to wash an animal
- flashlight
- fake telephone to answer any emergency calls
- leashes or ribbons for leashes
- plastic bowls to feed the animals in the cages
- kitchen utensils such as tongs to assist with examining the animal
- Animal forms and signs to encourage creativity, spark the imagination and promote literacy
