Chilly is one of the main characters from Doc McStuffins. He is a stuffed snowman who thinks he's a real snowman and will melt. He always gets check-ups because he thinks he catches silly ailments, starts to melt or breaks a bone. In one episode he thought that Doc pulled his nose off his face. Chilly also appears in The Doc Files. While sweet and lovable, Chilly is rather silly due to the fact that he is always worrying about something. Chilly often worries about melting like a real snowman, or

Inspired by the Disney Junior Doc McStuffins series, the kids have been very interested in role-playing Doctors lately. While they were busy the other day, I set up a little Invitation to Play Doctors, utilising the free printable Toy Check-up Checklist from the Disney Junior website, some willing toys as patients and other bits and bobs from around the house. Setting up your pretend Doctors Surgery For our Dr's Tools I used a range of materials from store bought to recycled items. You can use whatever you have on hand, remembering that children have fabulous imaginations and don't need exact replicas to be able to play. We used: Pretend play Drs tools from our dress-ups (these can be purchased cheaply from variety stores) Craft materials (cotton buds and cotton balls. You can also use craft sticks etc.) Rubber gloves Paper tape (coloured masking tape for bandaids and holding bandages together) Recycled ribbons, scraps of material and cut up recycled packaging (for bandages) Measuring tape/ruler Doctor/vet dress-ups (one of Dad's shirts would work well as a Doctor's coat too) Free printable check-up list You and/or your children can make a simple sign for your Doctor's Surgery. It's easy to add authentic literacy learning into your pretend play by including things for them to read and write. As well as our Dr's tool station, there was a "waiting room" for all the toys and a "bed" for them to have their check-up on. All set up, time to play! Learning with Pretend Play When involved in role play, children are given opportunities to practice and develop a whole range of skills depending on the type of play and materials used. This type of play is very important for children as it allows for hands-on investigation and creativity, in a context that makes sense to them. This provides a rich and authentic learning experience. During their Doctors role play my children practiced: cooperation imagination story telling language body part knowledge fine motor skills sharing being doctors simple medical knowledge reading writing counting compromising being kind Maddie (aged 5) played for around an hour and her younger brother (aged almost 3) was engaged for quite a bit of that time but would wander off from the play and then return to it when he felt like it. The toys were feeling much better by the end. To get a copy of the Free Printable Doctor's Checklist for your kids to use in their Toy Doctor Pretend play, click the picture above. What's your child's favourite type of pretend play? Happy playing, Debs :) Look where else we are. Are you following along? :)
Lambie McStuffins is one of the main characters from Doc McStuffins. She is a sweet and pretty little lamb who loves ballet, and has been friends with Doc for a long time. She gets along with most characters because she is very kind. She loves to give cuddles, especially to patients in the McStuffinsville Toy Hospital. Lambie also appears in The Doc Files. Lambie is as soft as the wool covering her! She is gentle and sweet, but usually not timid or shy. She gives good advice and loves ballet. If
