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...
