The pets need your help! In Toca Pet Doctor our animal friends want your love, care and help. Meet 15 animals who are all craving your attention.
Fix the bird’s arm, or get rid of the pup’s pesky fleas! Once the animals are feeling better, wake them up to play all over again.
“We need to cover the bones up because she broke her arm.” – Girls aged 3
“Look, he got a plaster on his ear. He’s got a hurt.” – Boy aged 3
It was great to see so many different skills being covered in one app, and see the children really engaged in caring for the animals. Through different mini games children solve puzzles (e.g. slotting the bones in the right place), develop their fine motor control (e.g. dragging the fleas to a pot), learn to care for others and discover what different animals like to eat.
It also gets children to practise health and hygiene skills (e.g. brushing teeth) and we found that the game encouraged discussion around this too.
– Mini games encourage children to problem solve
– Encourages nurturing and empathy
– Teaches children about animals
