Use a white tube sock as a pretend arm cast. Cut the toe off the end so it leaves the fingers free. Show a real X-ray of a broken arm, and explain that when we break a bone, the doctor has to use a cast to hold it in place. After the discussion, provide markers and let the children decorate the cast. Then add it to a doctor prop box in the dramatic play area.
