The Little Pumpkin Clinic

Turn medical play into a little fall adventure! 🍂

The Fall Pumpkin Medical Play Kit was created by a Certified Child Life Specialist to give children a playful, hands-on way to explore medical equipment, practice caring for a patient, and become more familiar with healthcare experiences—all with their very own pumpkin bear by their side.

Children can meet their new patient, give their pumpkin bear a check-up, listen to its heart, take its temperature, give pretend medicine, apply Band-Aids, and more. The kit combines open-ended medical play with guided activities, allowing children to explore at their own pace while building familiarity and confidence through play.
