Age range: 3-6

Theme Area: Playing Dr. Booboogone

Related Episode: Sneezy Does It

Subjects/Skills: Pretend Play, Social Skills

Materials Needed:
Stuffed animals

Directions:
Set up a doctor's office in your child's room by putting some stuffed animals or toys on her bed.

Tell your child that these animals are her to visit Dr. Booboogone. Ask her if she can come to examine them.

Encourage your child to play the role of Dr. Booboogone. She should examine the animals to find out what is wrong with them or how to stay healthy. Pretend that you have to take care of the animals, and ask Dr. Booboogone to tell you what would be the best way to take care of the animals. You might ask questions such as, "Dr. Booboogone, this bear has a cold? What can I do to help her?" or "Dr. Booboogone, what are some healthy foods this baby can eat?"

If your child has trouble answering, ask questions that will lead her in the right direction, such as "Dr. Booboogone, should I tell this bear to rest? Do you think candy is a healthy food?"
