Our Awesome Vet Clinic!!

My girls love to play with their plush animals and like to pretend that they are sick and need to be taken care of.

So I headed to my local dollar store and spent 40$ on various items and transformed our EXPEDIT bookcase from IKEA into a Veterinarian Clinic for my little ladies!

I placed small plastic baskets in some of the cubbies of the bookcase and filled them with green or brown coloured crèpe paper. I added 1 or 2 small bowls in each basket for "food" and "water". I purchased pompoms for "food" and blue tissue paper for "water". Added a small sign at the top of each cubby to write down the animals name.

For some of the cubbies I created cages. I cut out "cage fronts" out of cardboard and added duct tape to one side to act as the hinges and added Velcro to the other side, so that the cages could open and close.

Added decorative tape to random small containers for "medications" and medical supplies.

Added our Doctor type tools to the play area to take care of the animals.

I setup a table for the administrative duties of the clinic. A small cash register, calculator, note pad, an X-ray machine (plastic container with a tap light inside), telephone, pens etc.

Added another table for checkups and bath time. Added tissue paper to make water and added soap, shampoo, brushes, small towel, etc to take care of the animals.

And last but not least I added a waiting area for all the patients! This project was a huge success and my girls are thrilled to be "real" veterinarians!
