Learning Resources Pretend and Play Animal Hospital, Set of 34

Overall, I was satisified with the Learning Resources Animal Hospital & my son seemed to enjoy playing with it after I explained everything to him. I would say it's on par with other similar animal caring kits. It's a small area in toys in my experience & it's nice to see a company still providing pure educational style toys in this day. Assuming the price was adequate I would most likely buy this kit since my son took a liking to it in the first 15 minutes. It took a minute to figure out how the pretend x-ray cards work, but I got a kick out of how you hold the one card over the other & then you can see the dog's internal bones on the card. It was a good idea overall, but I wish there were directions as I didn't see any in the box. It was more or less trial & error for the first 10 minutes. The stethoscope & the syringe toys were a hit with my son as well & he tries to check everyone in the house calling himself the doctor (since he is only 3 and cannot say veterinarian). I definitely felt like this toy was a breathe of fresh air, because I really want my son to use his imagination instead always relying on someone else or something to do tasks for him. He has been asking or bringing the animal hospital out about every other day to play with, so I would call it a success. He loves his real dog already & I explained to him that this was to teach him to care for his dog. Everything is pretend so I like to see my son use his imagination instead of just staring at a screen. Prior to receiving this product I was unaware of the Learning Resources Animal Hospital & afterward I would 100% recommend it to anyone looking for a decent educational toy that is unique in today's society.

Pretend & Play Animal Hospital is a fun learning set for kids. It's interactive and gave my son an opportunity to feel like he is a doctor helping animals. My 3-year-old loves it because it comes with medical instruments such as a stethoscope, thermometer, and an otoscope. It is really easy to play with and there's a lot you can do with the set. My son even uses his other stuffed toys as his animal patients while he plays. This is different from other products we've played with because it allows my son to use his imagination. I had never heard of this set before. But now that we have it, I would definitely buy the Pretend & Play Animal Hospital and would also recommend it to others.

My kid absolutely loved this toy. They felt like they were real vets! Not only did they love being able to write down information about their patients, but the x-rays were also a huge hit. They actually played with this for a few hours. My oldest son was the doctor and my youngest was the nurse. They brought out their stuffed animals and took their temps, listened to their heartbeats, and put bandages on. Besides being fun, it was also very educational! I received this in exchange for an honest review.

This pet vet is adorable. The little dog that comes with it is so soft and cute. My 4 year old loves it and plays with it for hours. He enjoys pretending to be the vet/doctor and taking every stuffed animal and family member's heartbeat and temperature. I love that it all folds up into one carrying case so we don't lose the pieces. The only thing that didn't work is the stethoscope, it has a button on it and batteries, but it doesn't make any noises, so I think it might be defective. However, my son didn't even notice so he is happy.

My 3 year old loves this toy. He has fun giving checkups to all his animal dolls. I also love that it comes with a cute, quality puppy doll. My son was amazed at the x-Ray cards provided. The way the picture only shows up when you hold it behind the x-Ray sheet is nice. My one complaint is that the stethescope seems to be electronic (there's what appears to be a battery cover, and holes for a speaker, but the button on front of the stethescope doesn't press down. There are no instructions to explain and the box doesn't explain either.) Also I wish the slots to place the x-rays were wider, my 3 year old has a hard time sliding the cards through the slots without crushing the edges slightly as he tries to make them fit. I'm am also a pre-k teacher and my students would love a set like this. It's a great opportunity to develop pretend play skills, compassion (taking care of sick animals), social skills (one child pretends to be the doctor while one brings in their sick pet) etc.
