Checkup With Elmo
Prepare kids for doctor visits…as they play!
Print this page and then invite kids to play doctor with Elmo. Kids can give a family member, friend, or favorite stuffed animal a checkup, coloring on or circling each body part they check. You might even create a pretend doctor’s office in a corner. Add props like a magnifying glass, notebook and pencil (for a prescription pad), bandages, a play stethoscope, and paper towels. A cardboard box can be a desk, and a button-down shirt can become a doctor’s coat!

Joining children in their play offers so many opportunities to encourage, communicate, bond, spark and share joy, teach, show warmth and kindness, and help them thrive.
Lessening Children’s Fear of Needles
Preparing, distracting, and comforting your child can go a long way in helping them get through these moments.
