I want to purchase a stuffable gift animal.  What are the "stuffed" and "unstuffed" options?  Any of our stuffable animal kits and stuffable gift animals can be ordered "stuffed" which means your animal will arrive pre-stuffed.  Or, you can order your gift "unstuffed" which means we will send a stuffable animal kit including the unstuffed animal, stuffing, wishing star insert and birth certificate allowing you or your gift recipient to hand stuff and dress their new furry friend themselves!  No sewing required - just stuff, wish, velcro close and complete a birth certificate!

How do the animals close?  All animals have a zipper and/or velcro closure.  No sewing is required.  

How are the animals stuffed?  All animals are hand stuffed by you and may be stuffed anywhere and anytime.  When your animal arrives turn it over to locate the zipper.  Unzip the zipper to expose the opening where you will stuff the animal.  Take the fluff (fill) and stretch and pull it apart to make it extra fluffy.  Using your two pointer fingers grab a golf ball size piece of stuffing and begin by stuffing the arms, legs, back of the head and lastly the tummy.  You will stuff the animal until it is just right.  You will then make a wish on the wishing star, insert the star inside the animal, and then close the animal's zipper.  Now it's time to complete the birth certificate.

Where do I put the sound box?  You can put the sound box in the animal's paw, tummy and in some animals you can put the sound it their tail.  To activate your sound box remove the plastic tab and press it to make sure it works.  Insert the sound box in the desired location and be sure to surround the sound box with fluff so it does not feel boxy and will not slide around.

What age child are the stuffable animal kits appropriate for?  We recommend ages 3 and up - a little assistance may be required from an adult but keep in mind, their little hands are so small they can fit inside the animal and can position the stuffing just where it's needed.
