Build-a-Bear

For my special birthday present Momma, LV, Jonathan and Josie took me to Basingstoke to the Build-a-Bear Factory.

I chose my bear and then I took her over to the stuffing machine and I stuffed her. Here I am at the stuffing machine.

Once my bear was stuffed I put in her heart and special voice and the lady sewed up the hole for the stuffing.

I then took my bear over to the "Fluffing Station" where I showered my bear in "air" to fluff her fur. Little Josie helped me do this, it was quite noisy.

The next thing was to get my bear dressed. I chose a special pair of "Hello Kitty" knickers and you can see my bear wearing them in the photo. I then took my bear to the dressing room and put the rest of her clothes on.

I then went to the computer and chose a name to go on my bear's birth certificate.

I called my bear "Festival Daisy Bling Bear". The computer printed off a birth certificate for Festival Bear. My bear has a special number and if she ever gets lost then if the person that finds her takes her to the Build-a-bear workshop they can find out who she belongs to and send her home to her Mommy - me!!

Here I am at the computer typing in my bears name.

The last picture is one of me and my Momma and Festival Daisy Bling Bear.

I love my bear very much and when I miss my Momma all I have to do is give my bear's paw a squeeze and my Moma's voice says to me "India I love you and whenever you miss your Mummy just give this bear a hug xxx".

This is one of the best presents I have ever had and I really enjoyed building her.
