This week we are going to take care of our pets health by creating a Veterinarian Space. Other ideas include creating a Pet Adoption Center or a Grooming Center.
To create an imaginary Veterinarians Office in your Space this week. Add Stuffed animals, clipboards, Water bowls, Pet Carriers/cages, Doctors Sets, and Books about animals. Consider contacting a local veterinarian in your community to see if they have any free pamphlets for you to use as well.
This Veterinarian Dramatic Play space belongs to Pre-K Printable Fun Community member Sherri W. of First Friends Family Child Care. I especially love how she made her fish bowls!
Be sure to add a variety of plastic/wooden play pets in your construction area this week. In addition to play homes, you can also add different felt habitats such as Blue Felt for Sky or Water, Green Felt for Grass, and Brown Felt for Dirt. Consider adding stuffed animals to the building space as well so that children can build homes for the pets.

Pet Food Matching Activity
Have the children place Pet Counters next to the Food they think each animal Eats. If you don't have pet counters you can substitute with Pictures of Rabbits, Dogs, Cats, Birds, and Fish.

Feed the dog
Helping to keep the classroom clean is everyone's responsibility. To help make this fun, attach a photo of a dog to your classroom trashcan. When you find scraps, encourage your students to throw away their trash by asking them to
"please feed the dog".
