From playgroups, education and English Tutors to events, activities and fun for all the family, you are in the right place! I was able to attach it initially but the minute the stuffing started to come out, it pretty much fell off.

To stuff your bear you empty a bag of stuffing material into the stuffing machine, and then place your bear ‘skin’ on the output of the machine, before turning the handle to wind the stuffing into your bear. This toy was all about the experience of building the bears rather than the end product in my opinion. Eva found this quite difficult and i'll admit I did too, until I realised that you have to almost 'screw it on' by twisting it around the nozzle.

It was actually easy enough to open up the bear’s zip, using a hair-pin, so it’s not the end of the world if this happens. This added an extra element to the toy, giving it a learning aspect as well as the fun side of it all.

Each time the bear pops off you can move the stuffing around into the legs, arms and head and once all the stuffing is out of the station your bear will be perfectly plump. I could see younger children needing a helping hand with pushing the stuffing into all of the limbs though. I found that twisted it on rather than pulling it on felt more secure, your child will probably need help with this bit as it can be a bit fiddly.Since then we've had many more of these creations come into our house, including my youngest's favourite cuddly toy, Chewbacca. Children aged 4 years and over can use the Build-a-Bear Stuffing Station to stuff two furry friends, make a wish in the hearts, dress them in unique outfits, and name them on their birth certificates all from the comfort of their own home.

It is a great experience for children to be able to do and would make the perfect gift for any Build-A-Bear fan. She had fun playing with the cardboard accessories and dressing them up in their t-shirts, and she found the whole experience really entertaining.The technical storage or access is strictly necessary for the legitimate purpose of enabling the use of a specific service explicitly requested by the subscriber or user, or for the sole purpose of carrying out the transmission of a communication over an electronic communications network. The Build-A-Bear Stuffing station is a kit that brings the magical experience of making your own teddy bear into your home. When the bear pops off, you manipulate the stuffing with your fingers into the arms, legs and head of the bear, before putting back on the machine to add more stuffing. To get started you choose your bear "skin" and carefully place it onto the nozzle on the stuffing station machine. We zipped up my son’s bear and then realised that the plastic hearts (and cardboard accessories if you wish) needed to be inserted into the bear.

My nine year old actually has a bigger version of the teddy she picked so of course she got named Rainbow Junior. Thank goodness because my kids were eager to get started, I'll be honest they haven't been this excited about a toy in a long time! The bear will pop off occasionally but this is a sign for you to use your fingers to push the stuffing into smaller areas of the bear such as the hands and legs. The Build-A-Bear stuffing station is a kit that allows your children to make two of their very own Build-A-Bear cuddly friends from the comfort of their own home. My eldest was bought her first Build-A-Bear by her Grandpappy, she's now twelve and this bear still sits at the end of her bed.My nine and seven year olds were able to do the majority of this by themselves, the only thing that they needed help with was popping the bears back on the nozzle on occasion. I managed to convince the gremlin to not open the box and wait until the weekend and I knew we would be able to get some pictures of her. They even went as far as getting rulers and weighing scales out so that they could give exact measurements. You also get some pop out cardboard accessories and birth certificates for your bears, and of course the stuffing station itself.
