Abstract: Embodiments of a child-friendly analyte measurement system are provided for detecting at least one analyte in a bodily fluid. A measurement system comprises at least one measurement instrument for detecting the analyte in the bodily fluid. The measurement instrument is configured as a portable hand-held instrument and has a housing with at least one display element. Furthermore, the measurement system comprises a toy, in particular a figurine or a toy animal. The toy has at least one receptacle for reversibly holding the measurement instrument, which receptacle is configured such that if the measurement instrument is held by the receptacle, the display element is accessible, at least in part. The measurement instrument is configured such that it can be used both in the measurement system and also, optionally, independently of the toy. Further aspects include a kit, a method, and the toy for the provided measurement system.
