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.

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..

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.

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.

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.

A Unique and Heartwarming Event!

Make a Buddy Mobile is more than an activity—it’s a moment of connection, creativity, and joy. Ideal for celebrations, enrichment programs, spirit weeks, intergenerational events, fundraisers, or just because!
