The idea behind this store seems like one that shouldn't have ever caught on in this day and age of the ready-made, gimme-Now mentality : take basic building materials and make your own stuffed animal. But kids line up at this shop, eager to build their own bear (or whatever). There is even a sort of "how to take care of your bear" class held afterwards by the instructor, well-attended by eager kids all proudly toting their bears in special carrying cases. A great idea that promotes creativity and originality!
