    You will love this Pretend Play Vet's Office with Free Printable! When I was teaching Kindergarten we had a dramatic play area that was often a vet's office. My students had such fun learning while taking care of animals that I created these free printables and worksheets.

    I created a pretend play vet's office at home for my kids to explore through pretend play. It was super easy to set up! I am even including a free printable for an office visit. For more fun ideas for pretend play check out Camping Pretend Play.

    Set up a Pretend Play Vet's Office - Free Printable for Vet's Office for kids.

    Pretend Play Vet's Office

    You will need:

    • Kids doctor kit
    • Thermometer
    • Band aids, bandages, other medical supplies
    • Baby wipes
    • Small flashlight
    • Office visit form (free printable below)

    I had most of the supplies already and bought the few I didn't have at the dollar store. They have a great selection of medical supplies - who knew? I found an old thermometer in a drawer and decided to add it to the pretend play area.

    Once I had my supplies, I needed some patients. This was the easy part. Our home is drowning in stuffed animals. I found some of our most popular ones and sat them down in some chairs. Instant waiting room!

    The kids were excited to get started examining patients. I got my youngest a doctor's lab coat for her birthday, and it was the perfect addition to our play area. She starts off by checking the monkey's heartbeat.

    A small flashlight is perfect for checking the monkey's eyes.

    Monkey had a boo-boo, so it was time for a band aid. My daughter got a chance to practice some fine motor skills as she peeled the backing away from the band aid.

    My daughter determined that monkey needed some medicine to feel better. We used a small, empty cup that came with some cough medicine.

    Before monkey left he needed to be groomed and cleaned.

    My daughter B's patient was a puppy. I think B looks very official with her glasses. I would take my pet to see her!

    Puppy is a good patient and held still while having his temperature taken.

    I created a free printable of an office visit form where the kids could write in their patient's information and treatment recommendations. Also check out this Story Box with Free Printables. . This is a great opportunity for kids to practice writing and reading.

    We also had a bunny visit, and sadly, he needed a shot.

    The vet filled out the form with the diagnosis and treatment plan.

    I am pleased to report that all our patients are now feeling better and our vets are still caring for other sick animals.

    As you can see, setting up a dramatic play area allows kids to use their imaginations to create play scenarios and act out various roles. Our vet's office was easy to set up and resulted in hours of imaginative play and learning. As an extension you and your child can read some great books about vets such as: Pet Vet, I Want to Be a Vet and A Day in the Life of A Veterinarian.

        Oh, I love this! I had a brilliant idea over the weekend to set up a vet's office for my 4 and 2-year-old and wasn't sure what to put in it. I found you on Pinterest, you have such awesome ideas not only for a vet but for everything else. Can't wait to try some of the others.
