Children who take part in this activity first learn about the important role that vitamins play in our bodies. Using shapes, colors, and drawings, they better understand how fruits and vegetables are rich in essential vitamins that help us stay healthy. But their experience in the Pharmacy doesn’t stop there. They also learn how important the pharmacist is within a community — in fact, a trusted helper to the doctor.
We emphasize the proper use of medicine and stress that medication should never be taken without medical supervision. Children are taught clearly that they must never take medicine on their own, and always need the guidance and help of an adult.
With all this new knowledge, even the customers become little specialists! We like to say that after this health lesson, the role-play can truly begin.
