Why toys, such as Schleich characters, are so important for kids in the Dentist's Waiting Room
A visit to the dentist is often fraught with anxiety but toys in a dentist' waiting room might be the answer for children. So which ones should your dentist have?
It behoves the dentist to have a range of toys, such as Schleich characters, to appeal to all age groups so that any young patient can find something of interest. Children are always apprehensive going to the dentist and will seldom settle down to look at a book, unless the parent takes an active role in helping the child to read or by pointing out a story being told in pictures.
Much better then, to have plenty of toys that a child can interact with, so long as they are not too noisy and likely to disturb other patients who may also be waiting. The very small toddler is naturally inquisitive so toys that involve different objects of various colours and shapes, sorting them or putting them into the right place, are ideal to hold their interest. Maze and pathfinder toys enhance hand-eye co-ordination and an understanding of cause and effect.
It is always exciting for a child to come across toys in the waiting room that they don't have at home or may never have seen before. The likelihood of this is increased if the dentist has the space for a wide range of toys.
Older children are often great fans of model race tracks like Scalextric or miniature railway sets but these more sophisticated toys may not stand up for long against the treatment meted out by children day in and day out. It may be necessary to settle for more robust, simpler model train sets that have to be pushed along rather than have the worry of electricity and fragile moving parts being within the sphere of influence of young hands that may not be totally supervised.
Another possibility is to have various sets of model cars or figures that children can play with. Corgi toys are a long-time favourite with small boys who will spend ages running them up and down, even if only allowed limited space. A smooth area of lino is much better for this than a carpet.
Many children like to play with models of farm animals, or dinosaurs, or soldiers on horseback, and there is an incredible range of these toys produced by the Schleich company of Germany. There is choice of: a world of history set with dinosaurs and prehistoric mammals, the world of knights, the world of American Indians, the world of fantasy, and sets depicting horse-riding with cowboys, race jockeys, and dressage sets.
Sets of models like these are a good investment since they will stand up well to wear and tear, and will appeal across a broad range of children's ages and interests
Gone are the days when your child is expected to sit quietly waiting for the dentist with nothing to look at except a goldfish in a bowl and an outdated issue of "The Spectator". These days a progressive dentist will have a comfortable waiting room with enough of interest for all members of the family, even the very youngest. With interactive toys, such as from Schleich,, your child may even look forward to going to the dentist!
