Doctor visits are never much fun — for moms or kids. These free Doc McStuffins printables help you add some fun to the trip.
Make doctor visits fun!
Kids learn from an early age that doctor visits are not always fun. We try to explain that those visits are an important part of being healthy, but info like that tends to go right over their heads.
That’s where Doc McStuffins on Disney Junior comes in. This little girl is a doctor for toys, and she explains the importance of our real-life doctor friends in each episode as she takes care of her cuddly patients. With songs and fun stories, she shares the importance of being healthy and the role doctors play in a way that really hits home for little ones.
These five free printables help you take Doc out of the TV and into your world. Print them out to help make doctor appointments fun and to encourage your children to make healthy choices every day.
