Pet Vet

Pet Vet is an activity that never grows old.  The Bunnies love it!
 We transformed our kitchen area into a vet's office.  We had an exam table and all the necessary examination tools such as thermometers, blood pressure cuffs, tweezers, bandages, shots, and grooming supplies.  We had shelves of dog and cat food, treats, and feeding bowls.  We even had child size medical clothing.
In addition to our own stuffed animal puppy and bunny rabbit (of course!) we encouraged the children to bring a lovey from home.  The children had a blast taking care of their animals and role playing as the doctor and as the "parent" of the animals.
We set up a rest and recovery area for our animals.  The animals had an opportunity to get some rest while their "parents" had other plans such as eating a snack, painting and playing outside.
It was so exciting to hear the the children's conversations with each other about their animals.
