Teddy Bear Parties For Kids - Children's Party in Manhatten Beach, CA

Teddy Bear Parties For Kids - Children's Party
At Stuff-A-Bear you can choose an animal, stuff it, stitch it, dress it, name it, buy it and take it home.

We'll bring the Bear Factory machine and canopy to you.
We will provide you with everything your child and their friends will need to design their own bear. Children will get to take their bear and make it come to life using the stuffing machine. Before we close up our bears, each child will get to kiss the special heart that will be placed inside their bear.
Then it's off to the birth certificate station where each child will name their bear. Once the children are ready each child will take home their new bear in a box.
A party in your home - What better place for your kids to show off their rooms and hang from the ceilings - what better place where friends can eat cake and enjoy lunch under the backyard tree, rolling in grass sipping on lemonade.
A pleasant experience you can't ever possibly have fighting for a parking spot at a crowded mall!

The Bear Builders pawty Policies

How do I book a The Bear Builders pawty? Parties are booked on a first come first serve basis. We will pick a time that best suites your needs and I will send you a confirmation letter via email. At this time a 175.00 set up fee is required for a pawty booking. There is an additional 100.00 therefore after the first 1 ½ unless arraignments are made. This fee itself is separate from the animal expense per child. This fee is waived for non-profit organizations, all School, Church; any sports Teams, Scouts, and Cancer events. Ask for details

What if I have less than 10 children at the pawty? The price is based on a group size of up to ten children. If less than 10 attend, you still pay the group rate. NO limit to the amount of guest we can add to the reservation. I have done parties for 30 and 60 children we have bear-specialist that help.

If a child does not show up, do I still have to pay for that child? Yes, I planned for the number of children in the confirmation count. If you pay for an extra guest and they don't show, I still did all of the planning for that amount. You will be able to keep the pawty bag for that child.

What time can I hold the pawty? You book the day it is yours to decide the time of the pawty unless I tell you otherwise. I will notify you if I am unable to accommodate your time via email.

Can siblings of the guest stay? As long as they are supervised! This exciting pawty and the whole family will enjoy the fun.

What form of payment do you accept? Cash, Visa or Master Card (accepted through paypal.com ) at this time. Or you may send payment to

1147 Manhattan Ave Manhattan Beach CA 90266.

What happens if I cancel the pawty? In the event you have to cancel, you loose yours set up fee. I will work with you to arrange another date for the pawty and additional 175.00 is due. Due to the nature of my business the $175.00 set up fee is nonrefundable.

What happens due to inclement weather? Of course if the roads are closed and it is unsafe to hold the pawty we will work to pick a new date and time.

What time should the bearday guest arrive? I come approximately one and a half hour early before I am scheduled. I do need time to set up. Guest should arrive at the invitations time. Please keep children away during this set up lot of heavy equipment coming in and out and it easy to get hurt.

How early do I contact you with the R.S.V.P. count? I need to know ONE WEEK (or sooner) before the date of the pawty. I also need to know cake request, balloon colors, and such.

Can parents stay for the pawty? This is a high-energy pawty with, photo taking and movement. If you have the room and we have the room then I have no problem with an audience.

Can I serve food to the children? Food can be served after the bear building is over. Then the pawty can resume into the second hour after everyone is full. Cake and gifts can be done later at the end of the event. I would plan a 2 1/2 event if food will be served. Items that are damages from food or drinks will be billed to the host.

What are the ages you accommodate? I do any age pawty event
0 to 100

I know it's a lot, I couldn't stop thinking about ideas for your pawty!

* Teddy Bear Pawty Invitations *

Your invitations could go something like this:

Someone beary special is turning 3 so join us for this special bearday tea
The bear facts: Place: Teddy bears playground + address
Time :
Bring your special bear so s/he can join in the fun

Teddy bear invites Make a simple template of a teddy bear on craft paper and write on the pawty details.

Cookie bears Make cookie bears using your favorite recipe. Pop them in a small brown grocery bag and write the pawty details on the outside of the bag.

Sticker bears using plain craft paper, adorn with stickers of bears. Easy and effective.

* Teddy Bear pawty Costumes *

Getting all the little kids to come dressed as bears might be difficult (not everyone has a bear costume!) so why not ask them to bring their favorite teddy bear to the pawty.

When the kids arrive you could give them headbands covered with brown fur and decorated with furry ears. Alternatively a cheaper thing to do is make little badges with bear stickers on and the child's name.

* Teddy Bear Pawty Decorations *

Think bears and more bears, Just clear out your cuddly toy cupboard, get down to your thrift store or get to a garage sale and get out those teddies.

Place the largest teddy that you can find at the entrance to your house or teddy bear pawty venue. Attach a helium filled balloon to his arm

Make large bear paw footprints form craft paper, leading from your gate and into the pawty area.

Make a mobile of buzzing paper bees hanging from the ceiling using clear fishing line. We all know that bears love honey!

If you are having a teddy bears picnic, set up a picnic area with small tables and chairs. Cover the tables with disposable bright checked tablecloths and place a small teddy on each chair.

Put up groups of bright balloons. A cluster of balloons always looks more impressive than individual ones.

Place teddies everywhere in the pawty room/area. Place the ones that you don't want played with out of reach of little hands.

Set up a cave area in the corner of the pawty room using cardboard boxes or rolls of brown paper and fill with large cushions or bean bags. Place all sorts of toys in the cave and let the little ones explore and jump about.

Write the name of each child on a paper cup and plate and put name stickers on chairs. Attach a helium balloon to the back of each chair.

* Teddy Bear pawty food *

Little kids can be fussy eaters. They often like to eat on the move and so I would suggest finger foods and nibbles. Don't use plates unless you are sure the kids will sit at a table, instead use bowls or pawty food boxes which are ideal as they can carry them around.

Other alternatives could be small picnic baskets or the green containers strawberries are sold. Line them with a chequered red and white napkin to make them look more exciting. Label cups with the child's name on so they know which is theirs and avoid straws for the toddlers as they just get chewed.

Peanut-butter and jelly sandwiches cut out in the shape of a bear with a cookie cutter

Bearburgers Use a cookie cutter to cut the hamburger patties and make bear faces on them with olives, strips of carrot and cherry tomatoes.

Honey Bear Punch Mix together 2 quarts lemonade, 3 quarts unsweetened pineapple juice, and 2/3 cup honey.

Panda biscuits Make a cookie dough and make rounds. When cooked, decorate with black and whit icing to make a panda face.

Teddy Bear pawty cake Prepare a basic cake mix or use my all-in-one cake recipe. Make 2 round cakes for the body and head and then 4 cupcakes for the paws and 2 cupcakes for the ears. Cover with frosting and then add the final decorations such as shredded coconut or chocolates sprinkles for the fur, M&M's for eyes, black liquorice for the claws and dolly mixtures for the nose. Just use whatever you have in the house.

* Teddy Bear Pawty activities *

Make your own bears For older kids, buy some bear craft kits so they can then make their own bear or try these color me teddy bears on the right which are perfect for younger kids.

Bear birth certificates Give each child a small bear when they arrive and then get them to make a birth certificate which they can color in and take home. You could design your own birth certificate off any computer graphics software. This I have

Color the teddy bear Print pictures off the internet and give the kids marker pens and crayons to colour them in. This is a good activity whilst waiting for all the guests to arrive. Printable teddy bear coloring pictures

Honeycomb necklaces Get some string or wool and Honeycomb cereal and let the kids prepare their own edible necklaces.

Eat your own bear Bears love honey so make your own honey dough that kids can play with and eat! Give the kids rolling pins and cutters and them let them decorate with raisins, nuts, coconut, chocolate chips and sprinkles and then eat them all up!
Honey dough recipe

Balloon artist If your budget stretches to it, hire a balloon artist in your area who can make all sorts of bear creations.

* Teddy Bear Pawty Games *

Don't overdo the teddy bear pawty games but always have something ready and make sure that there is always some free play time. The younger kids might feel shy or anxious at participating so don't force them and always make sure that everyone wins something.

Toss the Bees into the Honey pots. Decorate some small flower pots or buckets to look like honey pots. Give the kids some small plastic bees or make your own out of yellow circles of cloth which you have tied up and stuffed with dried beans. See who can throw the most bees into the pots.

Pass the bear Rather like pass the parcel but instead the kids pass round a bear. Sit the kids in a circle, put on some music and when the music stops, the child left holding the bear is out but gets a small gift.

Musical Bears This is like musical the traditional musical chairs. Set out a number of chairs, one for each child minus one. Give each child a bear and get them to dance round to some music. When the music stops, they have to rush and put their bear on a chair. The bear that doesn't have a chair is out but they get to choose a small prize so they don't feel left out.

We're going on a bear hunt Make some large paw prints out of craft paper and put a number on each one. Place them around the garden or house and get the kids to follow the trail in numbered order. When they get to number 10 have a bear sitting there with a bowl of candy or cookies and each child gets to eat one.

Stick the Heart on the Teddy This is a variation of stick the tail on the donkey. Draw a bear on craft paper and give each child a paper heart with their name on it. Blindfold each child in turn, turn them around a couple of times and see if they can stick their heart on the bear's chest.

Teddy Bear pawty Tails Sit the kids in a circle and give each one a tail made from brown felt which they can tuck into the back of their pants or shirts (might need to improvise for dresses!). Choose someone to be the teddy bear that is looking for his tail. Sit all the other kids in a circle and the teddy bear must get up and walk around them until suddenly he grabs one tail. He must then run around the outside of the circle and back to his place before the tailless person catches him.

Piñata Having a piñata is always a great success at kids parties. These are my favourites :
