Hippodontist features a cheerful hippo character that will get kids excited about dental hygiene, routines, and pretend play. With a collection of realistic tools, future dentists follow checklists, make “stains” vanish when sprayed with warm water, and practice their impeccable bedside manner.
The set includes 15 pieces such braces, a refillable toothbrush and water flosser, play floss, a dental hook, a mirror, and more.
By role-playing dentist visits and seeing the magic of transforming dirty teeth into clean ones, children learn about brushing, flossing, and oral care routines in a fun, memorable way. The Hippodontist provides a rich, playful context that naturally invites language-rich exchanges. They practice narrative routines, question/response structures and imaginative storytelling.
Engaging in pretend-play as both patient and dentist encourages empathy, turn-taking, and nurturing behavior. These interactions build confidence and emotional awareness as children navigate roles.
Battat’s Hippodontist introduces kids to healthy dental habits, nurtures empathy through caregiving play, and stimulates language development through pretend dialogue and storytelling. Whether used solo or with a friend, it’s a wonderful resource to encourage speech, social skills, and imaginative learning—all while saying “ahh!”
