A variety of craft supplies will be available for children to create take-home valentines.
Stuffee, the museum's giant rag doll, will be unzipped for visitors to learn about human internal organs. Nurses from Waco medical care facilities will be taking blood pressure, and an ambulance will be on display. Visitors also will have the opportunity to talk to Waco EMTs and learn about emergency care.
