Stuffie Clinic at MCM

Going to the doctor can be scary for children, especially if they don’t know what to expect. Ball State University Child Life Students will be joining us on February 22nd, from 1-4pm, for a Stuffie Clinic to help promote positive interactions and teach coping strategies for when medical care is needed. 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.

Giveaway: Stuffie Clinic guests will have the opportunity to be entered into a drawing where TWO winners will receive a 1 year family membership to the Muncie Children's Museum (current members excluded).
