Little Dutch Wooden Vet Set and Plush Dog Bundle

The clinic opens when a patient arrives, and Jackie is exactly the right kind: soft enough to be carried in, cooperative about being examined, and happy to stay for as long as the treatment takes. There is a sink with a retractable shower head for washing a poorly patient down, a thermometer and syringe for the examination, plasters for whatever is found, and a comb for putting them right again before they go home. A fabric headband turns the child into the vet, and a clip on the wall holds X-rays and medical drawings, which is usually where the story starts.

Vet play is one of the better things a three-year-old can be doing. It asks them to imagine another creature's discomfort and do something about it, and it runs on narration, so the talking is constant. The practice is FSC-certified wood with opening compartments for medicines and paperwork, solid enough to be set up and packed away for years rather than a season.

Key features:

• Wooden veterinary practice with sink and retractable shower head, thermometer, syringe, plasters and comb
• Fabric vet headband and a clip for displaying X-rays and medical illustrations
• Opening compartments for storing medicines and pet documents

A strong third or fourth birthday gift for a child who is already looking after every animal in the house.
