Group Plush-Making Experiences That Kids Actually Remember
Plush & Pearl Co. brings a guided 16-inch plush-making experience to schools, churches, camps, family nights, community events, and children’s group celebrations across select Arizona areas.
Most group activities are forgotten by the time families get home.
Plush & Pearl Co. gives children a hands-on experience where they choose, stuff, dress, name, and take home their own 16-inch plush friend — creating a keepsake tied to your event, school, church, or organization.
We bring the experience to you, help organize the activity, and make the moment feel simple, meaningful, and memorable.
Current 16-inch plush catalog available upon request.

How Group Events Work
Share Your Event Details
Tell us your event type, date, city, estimated child count, age range, and setup needs.
Choose the Best Format
We help recommend a hosted experience, rotating activity station, or prepared party kit format.
Confirm Plush Options
Plush selections are confirmed based on child count, event date, theme, and supplier availability.
Prepare the Experience
We prepare plush friends, custom shirts, adoption certificates, Love Heart Moment supplies, and setup details.
Bring the Moment to Life
A Plush & Pearl Experience Curator guides the activity or supports the station so the experience feels smooth, organized, and memorable.
Experience Formats
Hosted Group Experience
Best for smaller groups and structured celebrations. A Plush & Pearl Experience Curator guides children through creating, dressing, naming, and completing their plush friend.
Rotating Activity Station
Best for schools, churches, camps, and community events where children rotate through a plush-making station in small groups.
Prepared Party Kits
Best for organizations that want a simpler take-home or classroom-friendly experience. Prepared kits may include 16-inch plush friends, stuffing, mini shirts, certificates or keepsake cards, and simple instructions. Availability depends on order size, timeline, and plush selection.
Faith & Ministry Events
Thoughtful plush-making experiences for church family nights, children's ministry, VBS, AWANA-style programs, baptisms, dedications, and community outreach events.
Churches and ministry groups often need children's activities that feel organized, meaningful, and easy for families to participate in.
Plush & Pearl Co. can support faith-based group events with a guided or prepared 16-inch plush-making experience where children create, stuff, name, and take home their own plush friend.
This can work beautifully for children's ministry events, VBS-style programs, church family nights, baptism or dedication celebrations, outreach events, and seasonal church gatherings.

Group Event FAQ
What size are the plush friends?
All Plush & Pearl plush friends are 16 inches, making them a meaningful keepsake size for group events, parties, gifting experiences, and special celebrations.
How far in advance should we book a group event?
We recommend inquiring as early as possible so we can confirm your date, group size, plush options, staffing needs, and supply availability. Events with larger child counts or custom details may need additional lead time.
Who provides the supplies?
Plush & Pearl Co. prepares the plush friends, stuffing, love hearts, shirts, certificates or keepsake cards, and selected event supplies based on your confirmed package and event details.
Is the activity staffed by your team?
Hosted experiences and rotating activity stations may include a Plush & Pearl Experience Curator depending on the selected format, group size, location, and staffing needs. Prepared kits may be designed for your organization to distribute or guide.
Can the event be held indoors during Arizona heat?
Yes. Indoor group events are one of our favorite options, especially during Arizona's warmer months. Schools, churches, community centers, libraries, and indoor party spaces can work beautifully.
What kind of indoor space do we need?
We typically need a clean indoor area with tables or a setup space appropriate for the number of participating children. The exact setup depends on your format, guest count, and event flow.
How long does a group event take?
Timing depends on the number of children, experience format, and event flow. Smaller hosted experiences may move differently than larger rotating stations. We will help recommend the best format once we know your group size and schedule.
Can we choose the plush options?
Yes. A current 16-inch plush catalog is available upon request after inquiry. Plush options may vary based on event date, quantity, supplier availability, and selected package.
Is there a minimum?
Yes. Private and group experiences typically begin with a 10-child minimum.
Can we add custom shirts or themed details?
Yes. Custom event shirts, themed details, catalog outfit and shoe upgrades, take-home packaging, candy kabobs, bracelet bar, and other enhancements may be available depending on timeline, quantity, and package.
