Ease Child’s Anxiety Around Medical Procedures through Play | Our Generation Dolls
These dolls are way too much fun. I actually have caught myself getting WAY too into the play myself. They have an OXIMETER and OXYGEN MASK, people! I love that they have real tools for patient care.
Toys like these are helpful for kids in SO many ways. They are realistic and encourage a lot of imagination used, pretend play, problem-solving and give them a deeper understanding of real-life experiences.
I love the Our Generation brand in general because it’s such an affordable way to encourage so many themes of pretend play.
