The £2 Tuition Hub

Vet Craft & Play is designed for younger children with an interest in learning about veterinary practices & veterinary skills. In the lessons I will chat about diKerent aspects of being a vet and provide suggestions for veterinary / animal themed play time. I will use soft toys to demonstrate some veterinary skills which the children can use in their role playing. Each lesson will have a vet or science-based craft project related to the lesson topics

**CONTENT WARNING: Although these lessons are less graphic and clinical than the older children’s lessons (Veterinary Detectives), I may still chat briefly about neutering, vaccinations, medicines, surgery, diseases, wounds, blood, bodily functions, organs, parasites, needles & syringes, male & female anatomy, death etc…. if it is appropriate for the topic being taught. If you do not want your child exposed to this, then please do not purchase the lessons. Please also be aware, I DO NOT encourage children to practice any veterinary skills on real animals / pets as they can be easily scared at being handled a diKerent way at home, and I wouldn’t want your child(ren) to get bitten or scratched. NB: some children may need adult help and supervision with the crafts**

Description of Block 1: In this block we will learn about diKerent types of veterinary practices, the staK that work in them and some important everyday veterinary skills. We’ll decide what types of creatures our pretend veterinary practices will treat, the name of our practice and have opportunity to design a logo and badge for our veterinary surgeries and staK. We’ll chat about important aspects of general health checks, vaccinations and antiparasite treatments, and use our soft toys to try out some veterinary skills! Examples of topics covered throughout the block: Play, imagination, creativity, self-expression, art craft & design, literacy, science, experimentation, animal welfare, clinical skills, veterinary terminology, decision making, problem solving, communication.
