Beary Cute Back To School Celebration




August is right around the corner. Every year, store circulars advertising their "back to school" promotions is my first sign that it is time to start realizing summer is coming to a close.

If you are a mom, like me, the end of summer is filled with mixed emotions. Some parents look forward to the first day of school and others dread the very mention of that day. Personally, our youngest is entering Kindergarten, and it is a struggle for me to find the balance of being strong and positive and not showing my true emotions. When our oldest entered Kindergarten, he was so excited that I fed off his eagerness, and the first day of school was a breeze!

Here is a fun way to smooth into the back to school reality (for both children and parents alike):

Beary Cute Back To School Celebration

A fun way to get your children excited about the first day of school is to invite your child's former classmates and gather for some bear stuffin' fun!

Parents can spend time with other parents who may also be experiencing the "back to school" blues.

This is a great way for children to touch base with their classmates and start talking school!


Our wishing star ceremony reads:

"We'll share smiles and laughter and even some tears. I promise to love you throughout the years. No matter the year, or the month, or the day, I wish for good times to come our way!"

On the first day of school, children will wake up with their Beary Cute Stuffable and remember the promise that they made and hopefully ease them into their first day of school. Perhaps, they can even take their Stuffable with them on their exciting day -- as a journey!

Gather your child's neighborhood friends and invite them to a Beary Cute Back To School Celebration! Here are some great ideas on how to organize:






- Hosted Cul-de-sac/Block Party: Schedule us to set up our "Stuffin' Zone". Parents and children can make their very own purchases and enjoy the party! No cost committment for you. Minimum of 6 guests required. Hosting fee required.

- Local DIY Cul-de-sac/Block Party: We can set up a FREE Personalized Party Page on our website. Parents and their children visit our website and make their selections. We deliver your order days prior to your event! Again, no cost commitment for you. No minimum guests required. No hosting fee required. Delivery charge may apply.

- Hosted Home Beary Cute Party: In the comfort of your home, we are able to host a Beary Cute Party, filled with games and prizes, wishing star ceremony, as well as bear certificate naming ceremony. Minimum of 6 guests required. Hosting fee required.

- Not local to the Austin, Texas, area?: Not a problem! We ship our DIY Beary Cute Parties nationwide! Delivery fees apply.





Remember one thing: Our children always sense what we are feeling. If they sense that we are sad or stressed, they will begin their day knowing this. If they know you are excited for them and proud, their first day will begin with confidence. Best of luck, parents!

Chance of Rain

Here we are...it's Friday, and the Austin area FINALLY has a chance of rain! After neverending, three-digit degree temperatures, it seems we may have a slight opportunity to be outdoors without melting away.

Today, I have a busy day scheduled to deliver DIY Beary Cute Parties, go to my favorite store, Super Target, and take the kiddos to Chuck E Cheese. (Yes, not my favorite place to go to, but the boys REALLY want to go.)

What's a mom to do?

In the busy, multitasking day of a WAHM, sometimes we just need to put everything aside for what should be the main focus of our life: our children.

As the summer dwindles down and the start of a new school year is upon us, I tend to realize what little time I have left to enjoy the "crazy days of summer": Last night, as my husband was headed to bed, the boys and I decided we wanted to "rumble tumble" with The Daddio.

There we were, midnight, and a family of four just being crazy and having some fun: M "cannon- balled my husband, and C protected me as usual from M's thunderous feet -- it was sooo funny!

Yet, it is times like these that remind me that summer is slowly coming to an end. Before I know it, it'll be back to waking up at 6 am, packing lunches, and getting the kids ready for their first day of school.

Am I ready for our youngest to enter Kindergarten? No. Is a mother EVER prepared to walk their youngest into their first day of school? No.

If you're a mom, just like me, stop -- just stop -- what you're doing and focus on what's truly important in life -- our children. Before we know it, they grow up, and we don't want to look back and wish we had spent more time with them...if only I could take back time!

So, I'm taking the boys to Chuck E Cheese today because there's a chance of rain and because nothing can be more important than enjoying the time that we have.

Be blessed and have a fantastic weekend!

A very special celebration...for a special group of children

An example of how we can customize our Beary Cute Parties/Workshops for you:

Back in May, it was our 5 year olds' last day of preschool, and even though he had hand picked his gift and card for his incredible teacher, Ms. D, I had a light bulb moment in the middle of the night about a special way to celebrate his preschool graduation:

A Surprise Beary Cute Workshops for ALL his preschool friends!!

With most of his friends going to different schools, it saddened me to know our son will no longer see his best friends every week. They created special bonds, memories, and grew in God's word.

This morning, Mrs. D selected her favorite Stuffable, a Husky, but I advised her she would not be able to hand stuff her Stuffable -- ???

In turn, every student took turns putting a small piece of stuffing in Mrs. D's Husky; this way, Mrs. D would always have a little "piece" of every student close to her heart. During our "Wishing Star Ceremony", where every child selects their favorite wishing star and makes a wish, each student was given the opportunity to make a special wish/thank you upon their star for Mrs. D.

When Mrs. D looks back, she will always know that each of her students helped build her Husky and is filled with wishes and love from each of her students!

The children then started stuffing their own selections -- Huskies, Chihuahuas, and Pinky Bear were the favorites!

To finalize the workshop, as every child raised their stars, Mrs. D said a special prayer for each "Prayer Star". I advised each child that if ever they felt frightened or nervous -- say, on the first day of school -- to hug their Stuffable and know that they always had special wishes and a prayer from Mrs. D. right there with them.

A special workshop for such a special group of children...

DIY Beary Cute Parties




Stuffed animals are not a fad. The majority of us grew up having at least one favorite stuffed animal that we took EVERYWHERE! Did you know that it was back in 1906 when the teddy bear craze was in full swing in the United States?

Teddy bears (and other stuffed animals too!) offer children comfort. No matter what the situation, stuffed animals are just a squeeze and a hug away!

When you take this in consideration and combine it with the most exciting celebation EVER -- a child's birthday -- you have the perfect recipe for FUN, FUN, AND MORE FUN! Don't take our word for it, read what our loyal customers are saying in our Testimonials Page.

Beary Cute Parties are a 3 in 1 solution: party activity, thank you gift, and memorable keepsake -- ALL IN ONE!

Consider This: How much money do yo spend on a typical goodie bag for your party guests? Now, consider that most goodie bag items, unfortunately, end up lost in a toy box -- or even worse -- a trash can. With a Beary Cute Stuffable, the birthday child and party guests will have memories of your child's celebration and the comfort of a stuffed animal that THEY CREATED!

Every DIY Beary Cute Party includes:

- Free Party Invitations
- Unstuffed Animal
- Stuffing
- Stuffing Stick (for Large Stuffables, available on Lil' Critters on request)
- Wishing Star
- Bear Certificate
- Easy-To-Understand Instructions
- Take-Home Carrier
