Realistic pretend doctors kits. Is there such a thing?...

[Lisa in MN]

I am looking online and the closest I can find is a set with a stethoscope that makes a fake coughing/heartbeat sound. Anyone found a really cool set? My twin girls are turning 3 in Feb :-)
Thanks Ladies...

How about getting this (http://cgi.ebay.com/BLOOD-PRESSURE-CUFF-STETHOSCOPE-COMBO-KIT-NAVY-SALE_W0QQitemZ220195664720QQihZ012QQcategoryZ75073 QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem) and maybe this (http://cgi.ebay.com/FINE-QUALITY-OTOSCOPE-SET-FOR-PHYSICIAN-SURGICAL-VETER_W0QQitemZ190193227516QQihZ009QQcategoryZ1042 31QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem) and a package of these (http://www.medcareproducts.com/prodinfo.asp?number=TD) and maybe even one of these (http://cgi.ebay.com/Reflex-hammer-Celebrex_W0QQitemZ170187201016QQihZ007QQcategoryZ1 5911QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem)!

They are all the real deal and will definitely FAR outlast any overpriced toy... plus... they could actually come in handy! Okay, so I know they are not pretend... but I don't think there are realistic play ones nowadays.

You should get paid for great work like this! My roommates are all stunned by your craftiness and genious... Thank you for the 'reality' check. I can't wait to get these things for the kids. :)

Are you talking to me? There's no one else in the room so you must be... but I don't know how I deserve a genius badge for this! LOL But heck... I'll take it! :D After I went on the hunt for these I thought, man... I should get this for my kids! :p

Contact your local hospital, doctors, etc. They may have stuff they'll give you...especially if you don't mind have some drug info printed on it. Stuff that may be "broken" for their purposes may suit you just fine. Now, if you tell them you want it for playthings for your 3yo, they probably won't give them for liability issues. But if you want them for "education," you might score some.

They aren't toys, and I wouldn't keep them in their "toy box." Have a special box for them and get them down under supervision. Use common sense (as I'm sure you would). Your kids may be fine with them, but their playmates might not.

Warning about the otoscope...a FNP was letting one of my sons look at something in the one of the other's ear. He pushed on it suddenly...OUCH! If you have any health professional friends, have them give you a quick tutorial on use so nobody gets hurt.

Thank you! I got the blood-pressure cuff, the stethoscope, the reflex hammer, and the bag to hold it all!
You're tops! Hope you're stayin' warm up there... I just moved last week from MN to San Diego and I'm loving every minute of it!
