Do you have a collection of stuffies that could use some fixing up? Bring your beloved stuffies to our Teddy Bear Clinic for some TLC! We will help you sew those tails back on, patch up ripped seams or missing ears, and reattach eyeballs.
Bring your favorite stuffed animal or doll to this workshop, and our team of Stuffed Animal Veterinarians (or, you know, sewers) will help your family fix their favorite friends and get accessorized too!
This workshop will also feature Kellie Maas of Coastal Coping, who will have a variety of real medical tools on hand for kids to explore, play with, and test out on their stuffies. Kellie helps “take the scare out of medical care.” Through play, children will familiarize themselves with common medical tools used in child wellness exams, helping children become more comfortable with their own health and wellness experiences.
Children will also have the option of writing notes of encouragement and support to their stuffies, as they undergo their own treatment, and can tuck those notes into their stuffies before sewing and fixing them back up. The fixed-up stuffies can become a source of emotional support for kids apprehensive about going to the doctor or getting their shots.
