Build A Bear Workshop Stuffing Station Review

The kit consists of a variety of materials all of which are child-safe though the product is not suggested for children under three years old. This is because the stuffing which is put inside the bears could tempt young children to taste or even try to eat it. The stuffing material is synthetic, soft, durable and easy to manipulate when filling a toy bear. The stuffing has a soft feel to it and this is what makes the bears feel soft and cuddly for young children. The more stuffing used for making the bear will mean the bear is more firm to touch and hold.

The stuffing-station is a solid no sharp edges plastic container with a fitted turn-handle so children can turn it to push the stuffing out of a chute into the bear and pump it up with stuffing until it takes a full toy bear shape. If very young children are around the project or joining in the project it is prudent to ensure they keep their fingers out of the stuffing box when it is in use. There are no entrances which make it easy for a child to interfere with the inner workings but really young children are inquisitive and creative. So keeping an eye on them is worthwhile, while the station is being used it is sealed through a fitting onto the future toy bear.

Children can be selective in how they build their pet toy bear and the outfits are bedazzling in the rainbow effect of blended colors, these bears look absolutely stunning when they are fully put together. The stuffing is put inside via a zip closure and entrance feature on the back of the bear and this is also where you can put a red heart shape inside the bear, though first, children can write down a wish and put the wish on paper inside the heart shape. This means, that the heart and the wish can be kept inside the toy teddy where it will be safely hidden and top-secret, till such time that the wish does come true.

The out fur skin is synthetic so it is very durable and does not shed fibers, the artificial fur is pleasant to touch and does not contain any materials which can spark of common allergies among children. The clothing provided for dressing up the bears is also synthetic and wear-resistant and easy to wash clean whenever it gets dirty.

Younger children should get some help and support from Mom, Dad or an older sibling, there is a good level of dexterity needed for how to manipulate the stuffing into the main body right up to the arms, legs, and head of the toy bear. The stuffing machine works very well but finger dexterity to firmly push the pink stuffing in to create a firmer toy bear is useful to do. Support and help for getting the correct amount of stuffing into the arms and legs via the stuffing machine could prove to be a little tricky for younger children around 3 and 4 years old.

Ease of use is designed into this product with children in mind and there is even ease of use inclusion of extra fun features such as the authentic-looking colorful sets of clothing, the task of writing a secret, hiding it inside a heart and then hiding the heart inside the bear.

For children around 7,8 and 9 years old, though they are young they will quickly figure out the instructions and how to operate the stuffing station and create a wonderful appealing toy bear. The process for loading up the station, feeding the stuffing into the bear in the correct amounts is a child-safe process for children around 7 years and older, for children at ages 5 and 6, some adult supervision would be helpful even if the supervision is not hands-on but just guiding the child through the instructions. For children under five interactive participation from Dad or Mom will be needed and this is very social, so children will love working with a parent to build a toy.

Not for children under three years old because pink fluffy stuffing looks too much like tasty candy-floss and might tempt a child to try and eat it. The back of the bear has a sturdy zip system but zippers are very easy to open and close for very young children. Therefore even a built toy bear though looking fully safe is not fully safe with a child less than 3 years in age, a young inquisitive mind may well find a way to open up the back of the toy bear. This would give the child access to the material used for stuffing the bear. Therefore for safety reasons, these are recommended for children over three years old, some supervision up to around 6-7 years old and safe enough without supervision for older children.

Each bear is a unique color and this means changing around the rainbow-themed clothing can create a lot of mix and match fun for children while dressing or changing these two toys.

The designers have factored in a sense of achievement into building a toy-bear through designing a birth certificate for use in giving the bear a name-identity, more secret fun for children because a designed red-plastic heart can hold a wish which a child writes on a heart-shaped piece of paper which is all included in this toy-set.

The makers suggest that these toys are not for children under three years due to the stuffing which is provided to fill out the toy bears, even when the stuffing is done and the bear securely closed with a zipper it would be possible for a young child to open up the teddy and get at the stuffing inside. With this thought in mind, parents know their own children and their levels of inquisitiveness and so judgments should be made for supervision for children around 4,5,6 years as to how much supervision should be given.

The station for stuffing has moving internal parts and therefore very young children need to be supervised and ensured they do not put their fingers inside while turning the operating handle.

Though this kit is designed to be kid-friendly, adult supportive supervision for at the least fully understanding the instructions will be a good idea. Though the instructions are straight forward it will be helpful to ensure children are fully aware of what to do. Firmly closing the zipper can require a focused dexterity so young children may need assistance from a parent. Judging how much stuffing is needed for each bear is important and Mom or Dad can gently supervise and guide a child to loading up the correct amount of stuffing into the bear. Feedback from parents has pointed out that even though the stuffing station works, it is usual to top up the final amount of stuffing by hand and children could need supportive directing on how much needs to be put in.
