Leafy teddy hospital
Poor teddy has a poorly paw! Set up a woodland hospital and care for your toys.
*Illustrative age guidance. Your child's development and circumstances matter more than a number.
A tiny plan for your day
Estimated time: 4 min to set up · 14 min to play · 2 min to tidy. It's fine to stop early.
Before you start
What you’ll need
- A few teddies
- Big soft leaves as plasters
- A strip of old fabric as a bandage
- A blanket as a hospital bed
Let's begin
Five simple steps
That's the whole activity. Tick each step off as you go, and stop whenever you like.
Lay the blanket out as the hospital bed.
- Little one leads
Your child is the doctor. What's wrong with teddy today?
Wrap a leaf plaster round a paw, tied with the fabric bandage.
Check teddy's temperature with a stick thermometer.
Tuck teddy in for a rest. All better!
All done!
That's every step. However it went, you made a little moment together.
