Let’s talk about stuffing for your teddy bear. There are various types of stuffing available. When I made Brittny’s bear, I chose fiberfill because it would be better for her to have a bear she can squish when she hugs him. A large bag was just about enough for her teddy bear. I try to have this stuffing on hold because I can use it for so many different things when I do any sort of craft that requires a bit of stuffing.

Kapok, a stuffing that is somewhat like fiberfill, tends to have fuzzy little fibers that will float around you when you use it. Fiberfill is the best since it isn’t lumpy, doesn’t have a funny smell, won’t attract any bugs or mice, and is non-allergenic. There are different varieties of fiberfill, so you need to determine just what brand or type to use. Price indicates quality. The cheaper variety isn’t always the best to use. It may clump for you. It may also have tiny fibers that will remove themselves from the rest and float around you. The top quality fiberfill has long polyester fibers that won’t break down into tiny particles. You will need to decide just which brand you want to use. Check the packages and you can see the better quality. It won’t have large lumps, but should look rather uniform.

Brittny has two new books. Care Bear ones that have puppets built right in the book. They are so cute! She loves them. She likes to climb on my lap with the books. We sit and read the book with me putting my fingers in the puppet and making the Care Bear come to life. Brittny giggles and smiles at me.

This just shows teddy bears in all forms and sizes are in our lives all the time. Look around you and there will be a teddy bear somewhere nearby, waiting to be loved.

2. Begin the party and set all the bears on chairs.
