Summary

This study will test whether playing with a rain stick or a musical egg during a blood draw can lower pain, fear, and anxiety in children ages 4 to 6. About 120 children will be randomly assigned to use one of these toys or receive standard care. The goal is to find a simple, non-drug way to make blood collection less stressful for young kids.
