Stuffington Bear Factory

Sydney and I had a great time at the Stuffington Bear Factory yesterday!! We went with our MOMs group. It was definitely "stuffed animal overload"! I think Sydney hugged every stuffed animal in the place!! Silly Mommy dressed us in black shirts...we were covered in fuzz by the time we left!! I LOVED watching Sydney during this new experience! She had a difficult time listening during the tour (what 2 year old wouldn't) but she was very attentive when it was time to make her Teddy!! Enjoy the pictures...

Sitting like a little lady by her new friend:)

There were so many kids running around us, it was difficult to keep her attention for pictures!!


Hugging one of her numerous new friends!!


Sydney absolutely LOVES stuffed animals so she was in heaven during our tour!!


This is a hallway made out of Teddy Bears - so awesome!!

She was a little upset that she couldn't get them off of the wall!!


More friends to hug!!

Surrounded with the love of her new friends!!!

Tackling a dragon during the tour (not exactly what she was suppose to be doing during the tour)!!

Sydney and her "human friends" watching and learning how the bears are stuffed.

She just picked out a pink bear to make...

Before the bears were stuffed, each child was given a yellow star to make a wish. They then placed the star in the bear before it was stuffed and sown shut! Sydney remembers this and will talk about the star in her bear. She got to step on the peddle to release the stuffing into her bear.

Next, her bear was sown shut...

Then her bear was given an "air bath".

This bear was huge! The kids all had a blast climbing and falling on him!

Sydney and her Angle Bear (she has wings) once it was completed!

We had to get at least one popeye face in there!!!

After all of the Teddy making, we had lunch with all of our friends~

What a great experience we had. Sydney LOVES to play with other kids!! I have worked with many children in the past who come from families with no siblings there age, and many times these children are shy and nervous at first to interact with other kids. Not Sydney!! She is such a joy to watch and she is so compassionate with other children. Makes me very proud to be her Mommy!!!
