learning monkeys: Pretend Play Doctor

Thursday, August 1, 2013 8 Comments

Let's Play Doctor Pretend Play + Color Stamping Cards | Mama Miss #freeprintable #colors #pretendplay #doctor

 

We LOVE pretend play! And currently V is obsessed, I mean OBSESSED with Band-Aids.  So much so, we must go through a box, a week (umm that’s where dollar store Band-Aids come in handy!).  One would think that she is greatly injured if you saw all her Band-Aids covering her legs & arms, but nope.  She looks super close at her legs & arms and if she sees a speck, just a speck (probably dirt) (maybe a freckle), you know a super small mark (hey could be marker too!), she makes me kiss her boo-boo & proceeds to raid the Band-Aid supply.  And somehow these Band-Aids mysteriously come off all day, because instead of picking up the typical dirty laundry around the house, I’m picking up discarded Band-Aids lol!

So, when you see V, before you can even say “hello” she will point out all her boo-boos and her Band-Aids that are fixing those said boo-boos.  She will tell you she wants to be a doctor when she grows up so she can fix boo-boos :)  Maybe she can support us when we’re old & gray (and fix our boo-boos) ;)

So, funny story, I originally made the “patient” the standard picture of a female – you know the one that is usually associated with the bathroom sign.  Well, hubs did not approve, he said it should look like a real person not a bathroom sign :)  I agreed with his bathroom sign girl assessment & pulled out the old sketchpad and came up with the quirky crazy hair patient you see.  Her hair is all crazy because she has been in a hospital bed forever (aka all the boo-boos), and that’s just the way my croquis look – all wild haired & quirky (maybe I should have added a comb too) ;)

Included in this pretend play doctor package:





A five-page printable, with:

  • A wild-haired boo-boo’d patient
  • Six color Band-Aids to fix the patient’s boo-boos
  • A prescription pad with directions on how to apply the Band-Aids
  • Seven color cards

Development in this pretend play doctor package:

  • Scissor skills
  • Color recognition
  • Basic anatomy recognition
  • Stamping (fine motor skills)
  • Spelling
  • Uppercase & lowercase letter recognition
  • Kindness/Caring
  • Communication
  • Following Directions

Directions for this pretend play doctor package:

  • Print out all five pages below.  Optional, laminate them for sturdier usage.
  • Have child cut out the prescription pad & six Band-Aids.
  • By reading aloud to child, have child follow directions on prescription pad to apply the Band-Aids to the patient, fixing her boo-boos.
  • Next, grab the color cards (optional: have child cut them out along dotted lines for more cutting practice).
  • By reading aloud the color for each card, have the child color in the top box with that color.
  • Next, using letter stamps & and an ink-pad have child stamp the matching letters using both uppercase and lowercase letters (we LOVE this from Melissa & Doug which we have & used for this and the squares fit them perfectly).
  • Optional: Instead of stamps have child write the corresponding letter in the box.

The kids wanted to try a bag of muddy buddies from Wawa & I said fresh muddy buddies are soooo much better… and fresh warm muddy buddies with @traderjoes #cookiebutter is to die for.  #youhavetotrythis #youwontregretit #traderjoesmusthaves

As a creative, I often forget to take the time to just intentionally sit and draw, just to draw, with no clear path in mind.  To let the pen lead me in a direction. 

I don’t know who she is… she was just in my head ✍🏻🌼🌸
{V said she looks like if Frida had a daughter} 🤔😆🤷🏼‍♀️

It felt good tho - really really good - to just draw.

✔️Me Time Goal: be more intentional with loose, process based, no rules, creative time.

Speaking of yummy breakfast. Let’s forget the Speaking of yummy breakfast. 

Let’s forget the kiddos & their fruit platter for a moment shall we 😉

This is my EVERYDAY breakfast - my strawberry chocolate protein shake! 

🍓🍫After working on several protein shake concoctions for the past year… trying to find the best tasting/best macro ratio/least calorie one for me - this is it. I have this every morning after my workout… literally every morning. I will also make it with the Afterburn vanilla plant based (the whey based one is too much for my stomach) protein powder too, but I prefer the chocolate. 

(swipe for ingredients/macro breakdown)

Now, protein shakes… yeah I know, ewwww, right?! Noooooo!  Guys, before I started at Burn, almost a year ago, the last protein shake I had was over 20 years ago (when I was fitness crazed twenty something) - I HATED protein shakes.  They were sooooo gross that I used to hold my nose to drink them quickly… they were nasty. #nojoke #iheldmynose

Friends, protein powder has come a looooonnnnng way in 20 years!  Now I don’t know about other protein powders out there, I looked around a little, but I couldn’t find anything comparable to the calorie/macro ratio that Afterburn has.  #notanad #myhonesttogoodnessopinion
Kiddos breakfast today. 🤗 I love doing little Kiddos breakfast today. 🤗

I love doing little boards like this for the kids meals - you get the most bang for your buck. Plus, it looks more fancy & complicated than it really is - it’s really just fruit placed on a plate with yogurt & waffles. 

They each get their own board. #becausesiblings #noexplanationneeded 

I only got a pic of one plate because T started devouring it before I could snap a pic 😆

Their boards today have:
🍓🫐 🍌
strawberries
raspberries 
blueberries 
bananas
satsuma mandarins
clementines
blackberries
blood oranges
yogurt
blueberry waffles 

I give them a fork and a spoon - the yogurt can be used for dipping or just eaten as yogurt.
