Would 6-7 year old boys like a make a teddy party?

[MrsH73]

My DD is having a soft play party for her 7th birthday, and after food they get to make a Teddy Bear. (a bit like build a bear) I originally planned it with just inviting girls in mind, but there is about 3 boys in her class that she is good friends with, and i know she'd love them to be invited. Would 7 year old boys want to come to a make a bear party?

Next question; I’m planning to serve strawberry ice cream at my daughter's party , do you think the boys will reject it cos it’s pink” 🤪

Roisin My DS at that age loved pink but might have rejected it for not being chocolate.

Though desserts aren't normally an issue for most kids.

Nor are teddy bears 😜

But sometimes they have to have a secret teddy collection they can't let friends see, well at least DS does at 13. Though it used to amuse me when I would tell other Mums the number of other boys with lots of secret teddy bears.

My 8 year old son would love it.

I done this for my dd and invite lots of boys they were age 5 and they all loved it.

I think it depends on the individual child rather than whether they are a boy or a girl.

My eldest boy would not have been keen on building a bear cos he's never been into soft toys or anything crafty- preferred Lego and meccano type activities. But he'd have joined in cos he's kind and polite!

My youngest boy would have loved building a bear cos he has v different interests to his brother.

Why would he feel the need to keep his Teddy secret ?
Fsake!
I had no idea there was such gender stereotyping around Teddy Bears!

One of my boys would have loved it the other would have thought it babyish...

My 19 year old would love it! Mind, he has taken a bear to uni...

@BrexitBingoGenerator there’s always lots of stereotypical boy bashing on MN - boys are the pits don’t you know?

It’s tiresome tedious crap, but it never ends. I look at my awesome, polite well behaved boys and feel sorry for them tbh.

No. My dgs had a party at Quasar today, and some girls came to that . Everybody enjoyed it.

This is one of the weirdest threads I’ve seen in a while! Of course boys play with teddy bears. I’m a teacher and if you ask any primary class to bring in a teddy from home for a project, they all love it! Boys are children not an alien species...

Yes but it would appear that some Mumsnetters see them as such!
Let boys and girls just be children please !

No way here xx

All of my children at that age would have scored that. I think it sounds like a lovely party.

My 7 & 8 year old boys would hate it. It's all football/rugby/video games at this age with their friends. Would be seen as babyish I'm afraid.
