How It Works

Four steps. Zero sewing. One memory that lasts a lifetime.

Every Noah's Ark workshop follows the same time-tested recipe. It works because every kid gets to make, name, and take home a friend of their own.

The 40-minute workshop timeline.

Here’s exactly what happens from “open the box” to “go home with a friend.” Use it as your event-day run-of-show.

  1. 0:00

    open the kit

    Set the table. Hand out unstuffed plush + stuffing bags. (3 min)

  2. 0:03

    stuff & squish

    Kids work at their own pace. Most are done in 8–12 minutes.

  3. 0:15

    wish + zip

    Group wish moment. Each kid tucks their star in and zips the back. (5 min)

  4. 0:20

    birth certificate

    Pass the certificates around. Each kid fills out their own. (10 min)

  5. 0:30

    show & tell

    Every child introduces their bear to the group. Pure joy. (5–10 min)

  6. 0:40

    go home a friend

    Furry Friends leave with their humans. The activity is the favor.

Hand Stuff

Each child opens the unstuffed plush and fills it to their own perfect hugginess level. Our hypoallergenic stuffing is pre-measured so no one runs out.

Tip: invite kids to count their stuffing handfuls — most land at 12-15.

Add Wish Star

Tuck a magical Wish Star inside. A 20+ year tradition that turns a stuffed animal into a real keepsake.

Wish Stars are made in the USA from recycled paper. Each one is unique.

Zip & Lock

Our exclusive back-zip closure means zero sewing, zero mess, and a flawless finish every time. Even 4-year-olds can do it.

We engineered the closure so it hides cleanly and holds up to 10+ years of hugs.

Birth Certificate

Personalize the included Birth Certificate with a name, birthday, and a keepsake message. The grown-ups always take a photo.

Birth Certificates double as a scrapbook moment — ask parents in advance for a copy.
