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. This may be quite obvious to other people but I was feeling a bit frazzled that day and hadn’t noticed. 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. You also get some pop out cardboard accessories and birth certificates for your bears, and of course the stuffing station itself.

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. You then place your bag of stuffing inside the machine (each bear comes with its own bag) and then twist the handle clockwise to begin stuffing your bear. Mummy I need this, Mummy I can make my own Build-A-Bear,' every time she saw the advert for Spinmaster's Build-A-Bear stuffing station on the TV.

Make a wish on one of the Build-A-Bear hearts and seal it inside so your furry friend feels the love.

Personalising each of the bears by inserting a heart and adding in one/some of the cardboard accessories was sweet.Consenting to these technologies will allow us to process data such as browsing behaviour or unique IDs on this site. And now we've been able to bring the fun of Build-A-Bear home with their fantastic Stuffing Station. The stuffing station comes with two bears, so if you have twins or siblings then you can give this as a joint gift. Attach one of the bears to the side of the stuffing station (see photo below) and start turning the handle. I think it's a fab product but my only reservation is the fact that you can only make 2 bears with the kit.

I am sure all parents will agree that when you have children storage space is tight so having a toy taking up room that cannot be used again without an addition cost is a little frustrating. This toy was all about the experience of building the bears rather than the end product in my opinion.They both have their bears on the pillows of their bed and love knowing they have a special heart inside and that they made the bears themselves! 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.
