Splodge Teddies: teddy bear making kits and themed parties

Splodge Teddies is a family-owned business established in 2010 operating from Eastbourne, East Sussex (United Kingdom). Its activity focuses on selling no-sew teddy bear making kits, as well as organising themed parties and selling ready-made bears and related accessories. The company presents itself as an option for creative leisure activities and commemorative gifts.

Teddy bear making kits

The catalogue includes teddy bear kits in two sizes: 8 inches (20 cm) and 16 inches (40 cm). These kits are designed so that users can make their own bear without sewing, and the stuffing used in the kits is made from 100% post-consumer waste. In addition to bears, the company offers no-sew squishy plush pillow kits, with shapes such as mug of cocoa, cheeseburger, ice cream, pink cupcake, stack of pancakes, strawberry, watermelon and taco, all priced at £15.00 according to the catalogue shown.

Teddy bear parties

Splodge Teddies sells ready-made party packs for making bears at home, with two options: 'Little Bear Party Packs' and 'Big Bear Party Packs'. These packs are designed for groups and are presented as an activity suitable for ages 3 to 103. The company also offers paper colour-in bags as an additional activity and to take the bear home in. The kits include instructions and items such as birth certificate and hearts, according to customer comments collected on the website.

Voice recorder bears

The company has a line of recordable bears, which includes 10-inch bears with baby heartbeat, 16-inch recordable bears, bears with recorded message and recording devices for teddy bears. These products are aimed at personalised gifts, such as recording an unborn baby's heartbeat or sending a voice message in a bear for birthdays, Christmas and other special dates.
