Brief Summary
Non-pharmacological methods are often used as a creative strategy to reduce pain and fear in children during a painful procedure such as phlebotomy. In this context, external vibratory cold application and a marionette doll are a commonly used as non-pharmacological distraction method to reduce pain and fear. In the literature, there are studies with cold application, vibrating devices and a marionette doll in bee appearance therefor this study is aimed to evaluate the effect of bee-buzzy vibrating cold application and marionette doll on pain and fear during phlebotomy among preschool children.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
child pain
Facial expression rating scale (Wong-Baker Faces Pain Rating Scale). The Facial Expression Rating Scale includes 6 facial expressions and is a scale that provides a rating between 0 and 10 (Conlon, 2009; Huguet et al., 2010). Facial expressions range from"0" a smiling "brutal" face, 1-2 "It hurts a little", 3-4 "It hurts a little more", 5-6 "It hurts even more", 7-8 "It hurts a lot", and 9-10 "It hurts worst". This scale does not require words or numerical values and is a reliable and valid measurement tool in the assessment of acute pain. With this scale, the child's pain will be evaluated and recorded by both the nurse who will perform the phlebotomy and the parent.

Interventions
* Bee-buzzy will be attached to the arm of the preschool child (who is included in the bee-buzzy group) by the researchers, where the phlebotomy will be performed on the child. It reduces pain through its cold wings and vibration. It helps to distract attention during phlebotomy and reduces the feeling of pain and fear. Bee-buzzy will be tied 5 cm above the area from which blood will be drawn, and after waiting for 15 seconds, the nurse will perform a phlebotomy. * A marionette doll group; while the nurse is going to perform the phlebotomy operation on the preschool child, one of the researchers will try to distract the child by paly with marionette doll. The researchers will receive training in play therapy
