The Best Doctors Kit Ever - 4 Year Old Boy Approved
My son loves playing doctors. I think they play it at nursery and he comes home with all these ideas of how he is going to make me better.
I had bought him a cheap doctors kit for Christmas but it didn't last long. Some of the pieces fell apart and it generally wasn't very good quality. So for his 4th birthday, I decided I would get him a nice doctors kit.
I did quite a bit of research and read a fair few reviews. In the end I decided on the Melissa and Doug doctor role play costume set. It doesn't look much like a doctors kit but it acutally is. All the instruments a doctor needs can be found in the coat.

My son absoutely loves it. He loves getting dressed up. So he puts on his coat and becomes Callum the doctor. There is a stethescope which he wears around his neck and makes the sound of a beating heart. So he can really "hear my heart" when he listens. There is also a reflex hammer, ear scope and syringe which he uses to find out what's wrong.

There is an ID card in his pocket which fascinates him for some reason. He's not sure why a doctor needs one of these! You can write your child's name on it so their patients know who they are. There is also a surgical masks for doing operations which my son also uses as a bandage.
I love the fact that all the doctors instruments fit nicely in the pockets which is great for him to carry them around and also great for storage. The jacket and insturments are also of high quality. I don't see these falling apart.
As the jacket is white, I make sure he takes it off when he is eating. This is perhaps the only downside. White is not the best colour for a preschooler who likes to get into everything.
The jacket is the perfect size. It fits my 4 year old well (who is perhaps a little smaller than average but not much). His 6 year old friend put in on the other day and it fit her well too so I can see it lasting for a long time.
The doctors coat also has velco fastenings and my four year old has no problem putting it on and taking it off. The big buttons are just for show.
