Here's how the stuff-your-own animal thing works:

First, you choose an animal from one of the six options (mine were panda, pig, elephant, penguin, dog and monkey). Then you walk over to the big red stuffing machine and John holds the animal next to the stuffer while you put your foot on a pedal that triggers the stuffing mechanism:


You stuff your friend:


You choose a star and make a wish. Then you place your wishing star in your new little friend's pouch:



John seals the pouch for you so your wish doesn't get lost, then he closes the animal up and you have your new friend!



Then you pose for pictures with mommy and daddy... and cousin Mackenzie, who also loves her new little panda friend. I'm not sure she put the panda down during the entire party!





You also get a birth certificate for your new little friend - you know, so he can fly and cruise with you when you travel.
