Teddy Bear Clinic and Picnic Friday, August 5 Clinic: 10 a.m.-Noon, Tea Party 12-12:30 p.m.

Kids and their favorite stuffed friends are invited to join us for our annual Teddy Bear Clinic!

Kids and their favorite stuffed friends are invited to join us for our annual Teddy Bear Clinic, a fun event that helps educate kids about what happens at the doctor's office. Each child's stuffed animal is checked in and given an ID bracelet, then children take their animals in to meet with a volunteer doctor or nurse for a check-up. If needed, animals can be taken to the surgical table for stitches, band-aides and ribbons. Each animal receives a certificate of good health at the end of the process. After your check-up, join us for our Teddy Bear Picnic from 12-12:30 pm, held outside the museum in Henry Law Park if weather permits (indoors if it's rainy). Enjoy juice, fresh fruit and animal crackers with your animal friends. Thank you to our sponsor Portsmouth Regional Hospital. No reservations required. Free with Museum admission. Visit www.childrens-museum.org for more info.
