Just what the future doctor ordered

Just what the future doctor ordered
There's something that seems to be universally fascinating to kiddos, generation after generation, about playing doctor - and by that, I mean the kind with stethoscopes and tongue depressors and a plethora of toilet paper "bandages." My childhood doctor kit was molded plastic and lasted one weekend. What I would have given for one of these. The gorgeous Wooden Play Doctor Set by Australia's Miss Yesterday is made of different renewable timbers and includes a stethoscope, syringe, thermometer, tube of antiseptic lotion, and two "blister packs" of pills. It's finished in a rich, eco-friendly clear oil, and it's suitable for age three years and up. For just $33, that's pretty awesome considering it's made to last for more than one generation of Doogie Howsers.

Be sure to check out the other luscious, hand-picked goodies in the shop, from accessories to stationery. - Barbara
