The boys were recently sent a new toy to review. The Build A Bear Stuffing Station. Bear is a little young to play with this so it was down to Lamb to test it out.
When you first look at the product, it’s clearly aimed for girls. It’s very ‘pink’ and there’s a little girl advertising the product. But every kid loves teddy bears and this shouldn’t put you off buying for your son. Because in all honesty, Lamb LOVES this toy.
The kit comes with the stuffing station, 2 bears and stuffing. As well as a certificate and accessories for the bears.
Following the instructions, stuffing the bears was really easy to do. At first I was worried Lamb would need a lot of assistance, but he actually managed to do most of it himself.
You start off by putting one bag of stuffing into the stuffing station. It doesn’t look like much at first, but trust me, it goes along way.
Attach one of the bears to the side of the stuffing station (see photo below) and start turning the handle. Once the bear falls off you need to start pushing the stuffing further into the bear. Start by filling the legs, then the arms and finally the head.
Once you have pushed the stuffing further into the bear, repeat the process until all of the stuffing is is inside the bear.
The stuffing station comes with two bears, so if you have twins or siblings then you can give this as a joint gift. Additional bears are also available to buy, which is great as once the bears are stuffed what do you do with the toy? I’ve had a look around and the best place to buy them is Toys R Us. I picked up 2 new bears as Lamb is giving the stuffing stations to his friend for Christmas.
Once you have completed your bears you write a wish on a little heart card and pop it into the heart case. This then goes into your bear in the hope your wish comes true. So cute! You also get to fill out an official build a bear certificate for each bear.
Overall I was pleasantly pleased with this product. Lamb had so much fun stuffing the bears and he absolutely loves both of them. He insisted on cuddling them in bed and then taking them to school to show his friends!
If you’ve got a child who LOVES teddy bears, and you’re happy to pay a few quid to buy new bears every now and then, then this toy is perfect for your kid.
