Noah's Ark Animal Workshop

Every Friend Begins With a Wish.

Before children stuff their new furry friend, they hold a tiny rainbow Wish Star in their hands, close their eyes, and make a special wish. Then they tuck the star safely inside, where it stays forever. It is a simple tradition that transforms a stuffed animal into a treasured keepsake, and it is included in every Noah's Ark Animal Workshop Kit. Because years from now, they’ll remember more than the bear. They’ll remember the wish.

No setup required. The star is part of the kit; the magic happens on its own.

A Moment They'll Remember Forever

Hold Your Wish Star

Make a Heartfelt Wish

Before their buddy is closed, every child quietly closes their eyes and makes a heartfelt wish for their new best friend.

Keep the Wish Forever

The Wish Star is safely tucked inside the new furry friend where it stays forever, a hidden reminder of a very special day.

It’s amazing what happens when an entire room quietly closes its eyes and makes a wish together. It’s a tradition children never forget.
