Teddy Bear Hospital
Our Teddy Bear Hospital is back this year in a new virtual way! These interactive and fun kits include one teddy bear including an adoption certificate. The kits also include instructions and materials for four fun activities prepared by the Child Life Specialists at McMaster Children’s Hospital: health care passport, check-up, wound care and casting. There are also short videos led by our Child Life Specialist Tija who shows you how to care for your teddy bear.
