Fisher Price Medical Kit Review: Classic Doctor's Kit for Preschoolers

A classic toy that most children have played with at some point is a doctor's kit. Fisher Price keeps this imaginative play alive with the Fisher Price Medical Kit. My son received a Fisher Price Medical Kit for his 3^rd birthday. While not everything about the Fisher Price Medical Kit is perfect, this toddler toy encourages wonderful pretend play and is high quality for the price.

The Fisher Price Medical Kit comes with several pieces of pretend medical equipment, all neatly packaged in a green medical bag. The pieces in the Fisher Price Medical Kit include a stethoscope, a blood pressure cuff, a thermometer, bandage, syringe, and an ear check device. Each piece is constructed of plastic and/or fabric.

The instruments in the Fisher Price Medical Kit have quite a bit of realism to them which is perfect for pretend doctor play. The stethoscope, just like the classic Fisher Price stethoscope I remember from my own childhood, really works. While the ear pieces of the stethoscope are very large (likely on purpose to keep the ear buds from getting lost in a child's ear during play) if you place it just right, you can hear a heartbeat through it. The syringe has a spring in it so children can really feel like they are administering a shot or medication. The bandage included in the Fisher Price Medical Kit wraps around the arm or leg to mimic a real bandage. These realistic effects are wonderful for toddlers who love mimicking adult actions.

The fabric carrying bag that the Fisher Price Medical Kit comes packaged in is wonderful. Not only is a great item for pretend play, but it keeps all of the pieces of the Fisher Price Medical Kit neatly together in one place. My 3 year old doesn't mind putting his toys away when I tell him that he needs to get his medical supplies into his doctor bag for his next appointment.

Another great aspect of the Fisher Price Medical Kit is the price. This kit retails for about $11.99 and can often be found on sale for under $10! For such a nice kit with all the necessary medical items for great pretend play, this price is a steal.

Overall I love the Fisher Price Medical Kit and so does my son. The items in the Fisher Price Medical Kit are durable, realistic, and neatly packaged in an attractive and useful carrying bag. The excellent price of the Fisher Price Medical Kit makes it that much better. Any toddler will have his imagination encouraged by introduced a Fisher Price Medical Kit.
