What our experts think
Our testers were excited to start playing with the costume set. It was fun to watch them jump into the role of doctor, nurse, and/or patient when playing with peers. They inherently fused real-world experiences with their role playing. The realistic yet playful costume set and toy medical tools encouraged and fostered acting and storytelling. Further, it supports increasing their familiarity with the process of being examined by a doctor which can increase their comfort and cooperation levels when they are required to visit a doctor or school nurse.
Our testers repeatedly played with this set, and it was clear that it supports an interest in medical careers, learning about their body systems, and how medical tools work. Through repeated play with the Doctor Role Play Costume Set, the children can advance their language and socio-emotional skills. The youngest in the age group improve their fine motor and dressing skills. Children pretend to be medical professionals, learn new vocabulary, and pair the objects’ names with their functions and purposes (with guidance). Furthermore, because being medically examined has a certain level of discomfort for most people, increasing familiarity with the process and acting out how it can be managed can support adaptive responses when required to be evaluated by a physician.
