Using a stuffed animal as a patient, children will have the opportunity to explore and play with medical equipment and tools doctors use and talk about what they do in a language children can understand. Children will receive a free stuffed animal donated by PetSmart- Anderson and Muncie (whiles supplies last). This free community event is sponsored by Knights of Columbus-Muncie. Museum admission is FREE all day.
