I set up a Doctor dramatic play and needed some play bandages the children could easily use. Whenever possible, I like to use real props for play provocations but the bandage clips available were sharp and not safe for little fingers.

I know Velcro sticks easily to felt so I thought I could use Velcro as a clip for some homemade felt bandages. They turned out really well and the children had so much fun bandaging each other and all the injured dolls and stuffed animals.

If you would like to make some safe play bandages too, check out the tutorial below.

Let me know if you make some of these play bandages. I would love to know it they are a success with your children too.
