Hi child-lifers!

I wanted to share with you this extremely cool Playmobil set. It was circulating on Instagram and when I saw it I knew I had to get it. This is such a great tool to prepare school aged kids for an MRI and CT scan.

It is super affordable and lightweight. AND it is available on amazon!
