The Best Holiday Prizes for Little Patients
No matter what time of year it is, holding the attention of your pediatric patients and making sure they leave your office with a smile can be difficult. If you want to keep little patients enthusiastic about their visit, especially during the holiday season, it may help to have an ace up your sleeve — or at least some toys and stickers! Fun prizes from the doctor or dentist will give a little patient positive memories of their experience with you. And you can count on SmileMakers to have the holiday-themed toys that kids love.
Toy-Filled Christmas Lights
Light up every winter visit with these fun, colorful prizes! Each plastic bulb-shaped container is filled with a silly Santa bouncy ball surprise. The joy of receiving a gift along with the anticipation of discovering what’s inside will give little patients something to look forward to! Give them the bulbs to hold throughout their visit, and let them guess what’s inside during their appointment. This will keep them entertained and happily distracted. When they open the bulb to see Santa inside, the exciting reveal will be a precious memory of their visit.
These friendly dinos are dressed in Santa hats and scarves and will make a joyful addition to your patient prize chest this holiday season! Use them to decorate your front office and start conversations with pediatric patients. Let children hold the plush prizes throughout their appointment for comfort and stress-relief. These friendly dinos are a great way to ensure that every patient enjoys their visit during the holiday season!
Reindeer Finger Puppets
These jolly toys are a great way to break the ice with shy or nervous patients. Put a reindeer on your finger and offer words of encouragement in a silly voice! Let pediatric patients wear the finger puppets during their visits to encourage comfort and add a little holiday spirit. Want to use the finger puppets to teach kids about health and hygiene? Put on a fun, educational puppet show as part of preventive appointments! Use the reindeer to tell kids about the importance of flossing, brushing, and other healthy hygiene habits.
