Bring Joy, Creativity, and Connection to Your Location with Make a Buddy Mobile!
Make a Buddy Mobile brings an unforgettable, hands-on stuffed animal-making experience right to your school, daycare, church, nursing home, adult care center, or community group. Our friendly staff handles everything—so you can focus on watching hearts light up and imaginations come alive.
From a fantastic selection of soft, huggable animals to choose from, to fluffy stuffing, and a dazzling array of outfits and accessories, we provide everything needed for a seamless, fun-filled event. Each child gets to personally stuff their new friend, give it a special name and birth certificate, and dress it in a unique outfit, fostering creativity and a deep sense of accomplishment. It’s more than just a party; it’s a chance for every guest to create a cherished, personalized keepsake they’ll adore for years.
Hands-On
Creativity
Participants don’t just receive a stuffed animal—they build their own, choosing, stuffing, naming, and personalizing their new plush friend. This immersive, sensory experience helps develop motor skills, encourages self-expression, and sparks creativity for all ages..
Perfect For All Ages
From preschoolers to seniors, everyone can enjoy the Make a Buddy experience. Our process is simple, inclusive, and guided by compassionate team members who ensure everyone feels supported, capable, and proud.
Emotional Connection
Stuffed animals offer comfort and joy—especially when you’ve made one yourself. Whether it’s a child hugging their handmade buddy or an older adult reminiscing while crafting one, each participant leaves with more than a toy—they leave with a memory.
Stress-Free
Fun
We bring everything needed—plush animal skins, stuffing stations, accessories, and plenty of smiles. Our trained staff sets up, leads the activity, and cleans up after—making it a breeze for organizers.
How It Works:
We bring our machine and display, a staff member to help each child make their new buddy and everything needed for the build day. We have two packages available based on Buddy size. We offer 2 plush size options, 8 inches and 16 inches in length.
