Turn the pillow right-side out through the velcro'd hole you left. The velcro will be annoying but not insurmountable. Stuff the pillow a handful at a time, pushing into the farthest corners first.

When you're halfway done, insert the motor/switch assembly. You want it to lie with the motor & battery in the middle, and each switch a third of the way across, as in the picture.

Make sure the motor assembly is padded on all sides, so it won't be noticable as a hard thing inside when you hold the pillow. Also make sure that the fabric strips aren't twisted, or they will short out. The switches should go right next to the fur, as you won't be able to feel them through the fur, but they'll be most sensitive in that location.

When you've put in all the stuffing you want - don't overstuff, you don't want a rock-hard pillow! - simply press the velcro together to close up the hole.

That's it! Hug it, squeeze it, call it George. Have your friends sit on it without telling them why. Have your dog sit on it - I haven't tried this but it should be pretty funny...

I like the idea of calling it George... that seems to be a common nickname at our school...
