As a mom of all boys, I don't get the chance to do "cute" very often. With no Barbie's in sight I started enjoying the more manly version with my boys several years ago. We began collecting 'boy' outfits for their stuffed animals. We have a huge collection of outfits from sports uniforms to Disney characters. But we only have a couple of the animals to go with them. While I LOVE watching the boys create their own stuffed animal, the only store close to us where we could do this is over a half hour away and is always insanely busy. But recently I discovered Noah's Ark and we had a great time making our own furry friends right at home! At first I was a little nervous about how this was done because I am seriously sewing challenged. But there is NO sewing involved! Slightly older kids can do this 100% on their own.
Two happy guys and their new pals!
And when it comes to selection, Noah's Ark has a TON of new friends to chose from, including some of my childhood favorites, Care Bears and Strawberry Shortcake. But for my manly house hold we got two adorable puppies and a monkey!
The animals arrive like this individually sealed with their own stuffing.
But they pop right to life when the bag is opened. And you're ready to stuff your new friend.
As you can see there is not only a velcro closure but snap closures that securely finish off your new friend. Small kids will probably need help snapping these together as they take a little strength.
As you can see there is plenty of stuffing provided as this is the amount that was left after Johnny had stuffed his puppy to perfection!
Two happy guys and their new pals!

I love Noahs Ark! When my oldest son(who is now going on 8) was 4 years old we did a bear party! A person from noahs ark came out and did balloon animals with the children and then helped them stuff their animals. We did bears, dinosaurs, lambs and even a chick! It was very fun and did not cost that much either! I plan on hosting one next year for my three year old!
ReplyDeleteMy kids would love the carmel horse!
