The Critter Clinic is one of the best toys for preschool speech therapy. It has all of the elements of a favourite childhood toy - offers surprises, provides open-ended pretend play, and can be used over and over again!
This toy is not only a hit with toddlers and preschoolers, but early elementary students love it, too!
If you don't have one, and want to snag one, make sure to Google "Critter Clinic YOUR LOCATION" and you will likely find some in your area!
