Therapeutic Teddy Bear Clinic

Preparation through play is one of the most powerful tools for reducing children’s fear and building confidence. A Therapeutic Teddy Bear Clinic is a fun, interactive experience designed to help children understand medical tools, procedures, and settings—using their favorite stuffie or toy as the "patient."

During a Therapeutic Teddy Bear Clinic session, children will:

  • Use real (child-safe) medical supplies to examine and treat their stuffie

  • Practice medical play in a safe and supportive environment

  • Learn what to expect during common medical experiences, like checkups or shots

  • Build coping skills and reduce medical anxiety through hands-on learning

Perfect for preschools, schools, camps, birthday parties, or small groups, Therapeutic Teddy Bear Clinics foster curiosity, emotional safety, and empowerment—one stuffie at a time. Send me a message for rates for your personalized Therapeutic Teddy Bear Clinic.
