You’re likely already familiar with Vida the Vet, courtesy of the wonderful TV show on ABC iView, Foxtel Go, or Binge. In which case, your little one is sure to have fallen in love with characters like Popcorn, Sunny, Koa, Zigzag and Juno, along with Vida herself.
The Vida the Vet Clinic Playset brings all of the TV show’s magic to life, with an enchanting tree house clinic standing over 30 cm tall, Vida and Sunny action figures, and doctor kit accessories like a stethoscope, thermometer and more!
Before we give too much away, here’s our full editor review of this gorgeous playset (and some other standout Vida the Vet goodies too).
Vida the Vet Clinic Playset in-depth review by Kiindred
About Vida the Vet
Vida the Vet is a warm, fun, and seriously adorable children’s series that follows Vida, a kind-hearted and curious young veterinarian-in-training, as she helps care for animals big and small.
With her trusty vet bag, a love for all creatures, and a knack for solving problems, Vida teaches kids about empathy, teamwork, and the importance of looking after animals.
We especially love how the show represents diverse personalities, families, and ways of being. For instance, ZigZag the bunny has ADHD which makes her fidget sometimes, but also gives her resilience and creativity. Vida herself has two Dads, showing that families come in all shapes and sizes.

Vida the Vet Clinic Playset: Product benefits
Role-playing real life
Playtime is a great opportunity for little ones to role-play and make sense of real-life situations.
Whether your child finds the doctor’s office slightly intimidating or totally fascinating, the Vida the Vet Clinic Playset lets them explore the experience with their imagination and some old-fashioned fun.
There’s a stethoscope and thermometer to play with, an instrument tray, a scale, and other cute veterinary doctor kit items.
If the clinic is moving quickly and needs extra patients, you can also grab Vida the Vet Plush assorted toys (each sold separately). Bring home Zig Zag, Juno, Koa, Tidbit, and Popcorn to truly get your child’s clinic bustling. (Psst – these also make for great birthday prezzies!)
Teaching empathy
Compassion is one of the best things we can instil in our kids from a young age.
The Vida the Vet Clinic Playset is the perfect way to teach your little one kindness and empathy as they consider how their patient feels, try to reassure them, and help them feel better.
Role-playing as both Vida and Sunny can inspire natural prompts to talk about feelings and the little things we can do or say that makes all the difference.
Those skills go a long way in the playground.
Imaginative storytelling
There’s so much fun in recreating or reimagining scenes that your child has seen on TV.
This engages their recall as they draw on interactions or characters they’ve seen and nurtures their creativity by imagining what else could happen.
The Vida the Vet Clinic Playset features musical sounds from the show and four different play areas to create unique stories inspired by the show.
As an add-on, we also love the Vida the Vet Bag which comes with even more sensory vet toys (including an electronic stethoscope and reflex hammer) and a Popcorn plush toy so your little one can dream big.
Vida the Vet Clinic Playset: Specs and features
- Immersive vet play: Includes Vida and Sunny Mouse figures, a doctor kit that contains a stethoscope, thermometer, instrument tray, and much more.
- Interactive fun: A pink lever operates the treehouse elevator while pressing the tree stump provides phases and music from the TV series.
- Four play areas: Investigate the fully equipped vet clinic with a hospital bed, weighing scale, and cosy nooks for Sunny and other small toys.
- Easy storage: After a day of adventures, store the accessories and figures inside the clinic and close the canopy for neat and tidy playtime.
In conclusion: Why we love it
Everything families love about the Vida the Vet show – inclusivity, kindness, and problem-solving – is what makes this playset so magical.
It’s an engaging, musical, and creative way to put the lessons Vida and her friends learn to practice in your own home.
And as a plus, your child’s next doctor’s appointment might just go down a lot smoother.
