Hospital Stay Story Pack – Item 547

This is a hospital stay story pack for helping children who have to have a stay in hospital. It is a very general story but one that will work for most children in this situation.

It can be scary for children when they have to go to hospital for an operation or tests. This story will help prepare them and help them cope with their stay in hospital.

Included in the Hospital stay story pack

• Hospital stay front cover with space for a name and a 4 page story with images
