A fun, safe and engaging introduction to healthcare, the human body and first aid for young children.
Give young children their first introduction to first aid in a way that is safe, simple and easy to understand.
Dinky Medics is designed specifically for early years settings, helping children develop awareness, confidence and basic life-saving knowledge through play-based learning.
Sessions are engaging, interactive and tailored to suit younger learners.
Dinky Medics is designed for children aged 2–5, giving them a positive and engaging introduction to doctors, hospitals and medical environments.
Through play-based learning, children explore medical equipment, learn about their bodies and discover the people who help us — helping to build confidence and reduce anxiety around real-life experiences such as visiting the doctor or hospital.
