How to Stuff a Bear

How to Stuff a Bear

The Bears that we sell are 15" to 16" tall. They have a 3-4" opening on their back with a zipper and Velcro closure to make stuffing your bear as easy and seamless as possible. A Stuff a Bear party is appropriate for anyone over 3 years old. (kids under 3 also love to stuff a bear but will definitely need a little help)

Step 1: Getting the Bear Ready

Open the Velcro on the back side of the bear and pull out the cloth pouch. Pulling the pouch to the outside of the bear will make stuffing the bear much easier. On one side of the Velcro is a fabric strip. DO NOT REMOVE THIS. The fabric keeps the stuffing from sticking to the Velcro.

Step 2: Stuffing the Bear

a) With a small handful of stuffing at a time, stuff the bears arms and legs.

b) Stuff the belly and bottom and don't forget the back of the head

c) Make a wish on your Magic Wishing Star and tuck the star in the bears belly

d) If you have a sound chip, remove the tab on the back of the sound chip and tuck it into

the bears belly. Now you are ready to close the bear

Step 3: Closing the Bear

a) Close the zipper on the bears back (once it is closed it will be difficult but not impossible to open)

b) Remove the fabric strip located on one side of the Velcro closure

c) Press the Velcro together

d) Smooth the bears fur over the Velcro for a seamless closure.

Step 4: Dress the Bear

If you have tee shirts for the bear decorating them with fabric markers is a fun way to make each bear unique.

Step 5: Birth Certificate

Choose a name and fill out vital stats on the bears birth certificate

Step 6: Take him home to play and be your new friend!

Why we sell the Stuffing Seperately

Many of you might be wondering why we are now selling the Stuffing and plush skins separately. Well mostly because many of you asked for it and we always try to accommodate the customer. Some customer prefer to purchase stuffing from local craft stores or nearby Walmart and that is fine. It will definitely save a little on the shipping costs. Just a note: the stuffing that we sell is a premium hypoallergenic stuffing that is designed to maintain the shape of your stuffed animal for long periods of time. You will not be able to purchase this stuffing at your local Walmart or craft store. That is not to say that stuffing from local stores cannot be used.
Our stuffing is packed in decorative cello gift bags and will easily fill any of our 15" plush skins. Cost: $2.00
