Junior Home Medical Kit

Is your nose stuffy? Have you broken a toe? Playing doctor is not only fun, but it also teaches children about anatomy while enhancing their language development. From ankle to neck, from hand to heart, children will encounter numerous new words as they learn about simple anatomy. Encourage them to discover and name as many different body parts as possible to support their learning. To make it more engaging, you can draw around a child on a large piece of paper to create a life-sized body outline for discussion. Talk about where to go if they feel pain and read books about the body, doctors, and hospitals. This helps children develop a natural understanding of the medical world and have positive experiences during potential visits.
