How to make your Teddy Bear?

Want to know how to make your own teddy bear? We’ve got the answer right here. And, spoiler alert, anyone can do it. You don’t need any special tools or skills. Make a Bear provides all the materials; all you need to bring is your hands.

Step 1

Take small pieces of stuffing at a time, pluck them open well and stuff them into the opening on your bear’s back.
Don’t put too much stuffing in your bear, this will make your bear less cuddly.

For convenience, the head and limbs are already pre-filled.

You can fill a Make-A-Bear cuddly toy yourself through the opening in the back.

Step 2

Take your special wish heart, make a wish and put it in your Teddy Bear’s belly. Your bear is almost ready to return the heart’s love.

Remember, your wish must remain a secret!

A sound for your teddy bear

Do you want to give your teddy bear its own sound or spoken message? That is possible. With the sound modules you can provide your cuddly toy with a nice sound that plays every time you cuddle it. This is the moment in making your teddy bear that you also put the sound in it. Take the sound module and test it before you put it in your teddy bear.

The best experience with sound modules will be when you put the sound a little in the stuffing in the teddy bear and point the speaker forward. This way your cuddly toy stays nice and soft and plays the sound every time you grab it properly.

Step 3

Now it’s time to close your bear.

Pull the plastic cable tie closed and ask an adult to cut away the excess plastic.

Step 4

Place the white bag inside your bear and remove the piece of fabric on the Velcro.

Press the two Velcro sides together to securely close your cuddly toy

When the Make-A-Bear cuddly toy is filled, close the opening in the back.

Step 5

Give your new best friend a name and give him his first big hug!
