Crafty Teddies is a family-run business, established in August 2015 and based in the North West of Ireland.  We specialise in delivering fun, creative and simple to-do Bear Making Kits and delivering Workshops for Kids Parties, Weddings, Community Events, Nursery/School Fun Days etc

We also supply Do It Yourself Boxes which come with easy-to-follow instructions which enable parents or groups to deliver the activity at ease themselves. There is absolutely no sewing involved in our Bear Making Kits.

Joanne Brown started her business after realising there was a gap in the market for an activity where children get to create their very own bear to love and cherish.

Crafty Teddies supply a large range of 10” Bears and love the excitement on children’s faces when we arrive at a party/event. The smiles and hugs thereafter when they have produced and named their very own new cuddly friend.

We have heard many comments from parents like 

“My child was never really into bears but loves his Crafty Teddies bear because he made it himself.”

“She sleeps with her Crafty Teddies Bear every night.”

“My child made a bear at the local Community Centre and wants to do the activity again, can I book you to come to her birthday party?”

Behind the scenes…

Joanne is a mother of 3 and her eldest daughter Chloe has 2 amazing little girls.  They both have their Crafty Teddies Bears which they sleep with, Claragh has Nelly the Elephant and Clodagh has Daisy the pink bear.

Chloe takes charge of the marketing side of the business and helps at parties and workshops during busy periods.

The youngest daughter Rebecca has also been known to help in the preparation of large orders. She loves to attend events and assist the younger children with the activity.
