I am so excited about perfecting a bear pattern! I have been working on several old fashioned bears and this one seems to be the cutest and most durable! I am starting a BUILD YOUR BEAR party idea for all the moms and dads throwing birthday parties or just need a rainy day activity for the kids.
The bears will come sewn but flat and all you need is the stuffing. The kids can also embellish them with felt, buttons, ribbon...anything they wish.
The price is $15 per bear, and the stuffing will cost approx $3 per bear. This is a great alternative to the trendy mall stores...it costs less and all bears are OOAK (one of a kind...not mass produced). Plus you will be helping a mom out!
I really hope this idea catches on. I know when Axel gets bigger, it will be nice to pull this trick out of a hat on those testy days...or when he deserves a little reward!
It seems like I could be on to something...then again what I think is cool...never seems to catch on.
Is anyone with me on this idea? I am always trying to think of ideas for those odd pre-teen years when there is really nothing constructive to do...hence kids get into trouble!
I also need to give a shout out to my brother...his birthday is coming up next week. 22...must be nice to still be in college and living the dream. Congrats on all your achievements Andy...I am really proud of the volunteer hours you put in, and the fact that you are a role model for all of Special Olympics Minnesota. They need more coaches like you!
Enjoy September...I hate to say it, but it is almost over.
