They also get to choose whether their vehicle is a family car, a taxi, a delivery van, or the fire chief's car.
Vet Clinic
Children will be able to play the role of veterinarian. Just like a real veterinarian, children will get to wear a lab coat while examining stuffed dogs and cats with mini stethoscopes.
