Engage children in a discussion about the similarities or differences between veterinarians and their own doctors. Invite the children to write and draw about the veterinarian's visit. Send a copy of the children's work to the veterinarian along with a thank you note from the children. Invite children to create a veterinarian office in the block or dramatic-play area. Ask children to work together to create a book on how to care for pets using information they learned from the veterinarian's visit.
Children can get additional information from a local pet store owner or from the humane society.
Assist children in organizing and writing or dictating the information for their book. Make copies of the children's book to share with other classrooms and for the class library collection. Read our Privacy Policy Statement .
