Missing eyes? Torn neck? Frayed mouth stitching? Bring your injured stuffed animal, and we will diagnose and help you treat its ailments (and learn techniques for dealing with future injuries). Together, we will nurse your stuffed animal back to health!

Attendance limited to 5 participants. Materials and prior video consultation (so we can determine size/scope of injuries and materials needed to have on-hand) included.

This class is geared toward adults. Must be 15 years or older to participate. Masks required!

Saturday
December 4
12-4pm

(Note: The goal is to repair your SA’s specific injuries. If it takes less than 4 hours, you are free to leave at any time– or you can stick around to learn about other SA injuries and observe/help with others’ repairs!)

We are currently hard at work reviewing all of the applications from this year’s 37TH Street Stuffed Animal Petting Zoo! We received 372 paper applications and 50 online applications, so it might take a few weeks to make decisions! We will keep you posted!
