Meet Bumblebear

This morning we went to a PTA party at the library. It was fun and there was an instructor for Noah's Ark Animal Workshop there to help each child make their own stuffed animal!. Nicholas chose to make a Bumblebear which Mommy thought was the cutest of all the options to make.

The first thing Nicholas noticed was that the bear had an embroidered star on his foot. He said, "Look Mommy! This must be some kind of new Webkinz!" For those of you who are not Webkinz-savvy, the Webkinz stuffed animals have a little embroidered "W" on them.



He was given the bear and a bag of stuffing. The instructor taught the children how to make just the right size "snowballs" out of the stuffing to fit into the bear's arms, legs, etc. Nicholas make lots and lots of stuffing snowballs then the stuffing began. He was so cute as he stuffed because he was already talking to the bear as he worked on him.



Once Bumblebear was well stuffed, the instructor gave Nicholas an embroidered star. She told everyone to hold up their star and make a wish.



Nicholas wished for "all of the Star Wars toys ever made". Then he kissed the star and put it in the bear before we permanently closed him up. And voila! Meet Bumblebear! Isn't he a cutie!
