How to Stuff you Bear

Get children to open up their bags and their stuffing but don’t start yet! Make sure children put their wishing star in a safe place as they won’t need it till later.  Make sure all the zips/catches at the back of the bears are open and explain to the children that they must not close up the bear until the end. 

Start stuffing the bear by taking a handful of stuffing then fluff it by pulling it apart with your hands.  Stuff the legs first.  Children may need help pushing the stuffing down to the tips of teddy’s toes. 

Then stuff the arms, head and finally the body.  The hardest parts are the arms and legs and children may need help with these. 

Ask children not to do up the bear yet but wait till everyone has finished.  Get the children to take their wishing star, close their eyes and make a wish then place the star inside their bear.  They may now do up the zip/catch put the bear and push in the stuffing pocket and seal up the Velcro on Teddy’s back.  Your bear is complete and now you can fill out the birth certificates.

Teddy Bear Party Extras

You can add extra activities to your party to give children even more fun activities to do and the party will last even longer.

You can choose one of the following or all of the following: t-shirt decorating, teddy games, teddy jewellery making and teddy outfits.

T-shirt Decorating

This activity is extremely popular with children as they love designing and decorating a t-shirt for their new bear.  We have t-shirts in pink and white for children to decorate and fabric pens to write on the t-shirt with.

Prices

8" t-shirts are  £1.75 each

15" tshirts are £2 each  

Games

Children love Pass The Parcel.  Why not buy a bear outfit from our shop as the prize in the middle of the parcel.

Bear Jewellery

A box of beads makes a fun activity for children.  They can have a lot of fun making necklaces, bracelets, ear rings for their bears. 

Sound Boxes

Why not bring your bear to life by inserting a sound box into your bear.  For the little 8" bears these are put into the bear's tummy.  Put round plenty of stuffing to stop it feeling hard. 

For a larger bear - put the sound box into one or your bear's paws.

We have song soundboxes which play a tune when pressed.

We have noises such as snoring or kissing.

Or you can give your bear a personal message with one of our recordable voice boxes.

OR if you are choosing an animal why not get your toy to make an animal noise.
