The Difference between Needles and Noodles Book Box

Did you know that 7 out of 10 kids experience fear when visiting the doctor? This fear can manifest in various ways, from needle phobia to anxiety about dental visits, potentially leading to avoidance or non-compliance with medical advice later in life. That’s why @piperandenza is stepping in with a solution – storytelling!

This book, among the many resources offered by @piperandenza, narrates the journey of a young girl confronting her fear of receiving a shot, presenting a plethora of coping mechanisms through amusing and clever narratives.

The kit includes a bespoke “patient” peg doll crafted by @tayloredtoys, along with an adorable resin bandaid set by @emilyresins, and an array of miniature doctor tools for immersive role-play experiences. Complemented by playdough, noodles, and a string, these elements promise hours of creative play while imparting valuable coping strategies for anxious children.
