What to Bring: Your child’s favourite teddy bear or soft toy that needs a check-up!
Waurn Ponds Shopping Centre is proud to partner with Deakin University to host the much-loved Deakin Teddy Bear Hospital!
Does your little one get nervous about visiting the doctor? This is the perfect opportunity to transform that anxiety into a fun, positive, and educational experience. The Deakin Teddy Bear Hospital is a wonderful initiative run by passionate student volunteers from Deakin’s Faculty of Health, designed to familiarise children with healthcare settings in a friendly and playful way.
Your child will have the very important job of bringing their favourite teddy bear or soft toy in for a check-up. They’ll support their furry friend as the Deakin students lead them through a series of interactive stations that mimic real-life healthcare services. It’s a fantastic morning of imaginative play that builds confidence by showing children what to expect when they visit the doctor themselves.
Join us for a day of smiles, learning, and happy, healthy teddy bears!
