Great quality my daughter loved it

The product will be perfect but the handles are bit scuffed.

I can remember my own son using this toy when he was in speech therapy years ago. He LOVED playing with this and learned so many new words during those sessions. Recently, I was looking for a new toy to introduce to some of my students during my school-based Occupational Therapy sessions. This is a HIT! When I use it as part of a “first, then” (“first this activity, then we play with the vet set”), my students work hard so they can play with this toy. So while, yes, it’s a bribe, it’s also highly motivating to get through activities that are beneficial, but also really challenging for my students. We use it to work on matching colors and problem solving (correctly orienting the keys to unlock/lock the door) while also incorporating fine motor skills. I show them how to use the pretend vet tools and they diagnose and treat each animal. Correctly holding a syringe and administering a shot is tricky for little hands! We talk about how that animal must feel… ”that sticker in his foot must really hurt!” or “she has a temperature. I bet she doesn’t feel very good.” Talking about these things helps to build empathy for others. We “treat” one animal at a time. We get him out of the kennel, diagnose and treat, then we put him in the “pasture” (the open area on top) to play with the other animals. Then we move on to the next patient. This helps kids to learn to complete one task at a time before moving on to the next. The biggest win for me is that this vet set helps to build pretend play skills which I find many of my students lack. You wouldn’t think you have to teach kids to play, but sometimes you do. This is a great and fun way to show kids how to use all the pieces and their imagination to play a great game. They LOVE for me to call them Dr. ______ and ask them what’s wrong with each animal and what we should do to help them feel better. Cleaning up is part of the game too. “All the animals are feeling much better! It’s time to close the vet’s office, Dr. ____, and go back to class.” What would normally be a tough transition from an activity they enjoy normally goes pretty well. You have to teach kids to clean up. Going back through and locking all the animals into their kennels “so they’re safe” helps to ease that transition. Bonus: It’s easy to clean between students with our school approved spray or wipes. Everything is plastic so it dries quickly and is ready for the next round of well-visits or sick and injured animals. If I had a complaint, it would be this… I used some of my kid’s old miniature animal toys to be the patients at the vet clinic. It can be tricky to find ones small enough to fit in the kennel, but big enough that they don’t fall out of the windows. That’s in addition to finding animals most kids would be familiar with. Honestly, it’s not a big enough con that I wouldn’t purchase it again. But it’s something to know if you’re looking to have an animal in each kennel. Every student that has played with this asks for it many weeks afterwards. There are a million ways to play and incorporate new skills during therapy. If you’re just looking for a fun new toy for a loved little in your life, this is a slam dunk. I’ve yet to see a kid that wasn’t immediately interested in it and could play with it endlessly if she had the chance. Spend the $20 and be the favorite for giving the best gift at the birthday party. It’s now one of my go-to gifts for my friend’s kids.

4歳の娘が楽しくあそんでいます！ 色別に分かれたドアは同じ色の鍵でしか開けられないので本格的なおもちゃですね！ ただ鍵を回しても最後まで回らないので開かない箇所が2箇所ありました。 壊さない程度に鍵を回してから開けて裏側のネジを外してみたらバリが削れてなくて、それが引っかかって鍵が回らなかったみたいで、削ったら開け閉め出来るようになりました。 バリを削る覚悟で購入すれば楽しく夢中で遊べるおもちゃだと思います！

My toddler absolutely loves this toy. I was on edge of buying it because it is a bit expensive....but for a kid who is suddenly obsessed with keys, this was the perfect toy! The included stethoscope is very poor quality construction, but everything else is solid! Would definitely buy again or as a gift for someone else!
