Stuff Your Own Plush Animal Program

Everything You Need to Build Cute & Cuddly Animals On Campus!

Our Build a Buddy Program is a proven, crowd-pleasing, hands-on activity that guarantees smiles and lasting memories.  Perfect for college and university events, this DIY plush animal experience is a hit with students, bringing fun, excitement, and a personal touch to campus life.

Why It Works:
The concept is simple but irresistible: students choose, stuff, and personalize their very own plush animals. Whether it’s a stress-relieving break during midterms or a special Valentine’s Day treat, Build a Buddy consistently draws enthusiastic crowds and rave reviews from Student Activities and Campus Programming departments across the country.

What’s Included:
When you order from us, you’ll get everything needed to set up your event, including:

  • Premium 16" Unstuffed Plush Animals – Soft, durable fabric, perfect for cuddling.
  • Fluff – Extra-soft stuffing fiber for that perfect plush feel.

Upgrade Your Experience:
Take your event to the next level with these optional add-ons:

  • 🌟 Gold Wishing Star – Place inside your plush to bring it to life with a touch of magic.
  • 🏷️ Birth Certificate – Personalize your buddy with a name and official details.
  • 👕 Custom-Printed Miniature T-Shirts – Outfit your buddy with branded gear featuring your school or organization’s logo.

How It Works:
Once you receive the supplies, setting up is a breeze.  Students will choose their animal, hand-stuff it to their liking, add the optional wishing star, dress it in a custom t-shirt, and complete the birth certificate.  Then, they’ll take their new buddy home, ready to cherish the memory.

Perfect for Any Occasion:
Whether you’re planning a Welcome Week, Winter Carnival, Spring Fest, or simply looking for a fun, stress-relieving activity, Build a Buddy is a perfect fit.  It’s an easy, engaging way to foster community and create unforgettable experiences.  Seasonal themes available annually for Halloween & Winter/Holidays.
