Here is my guess to figure out how much.

The fill comes by ounces. You might want to fill a sample bear and weigh it to see how much fill you used to make it the size you wanted. Then you can go with that. I would start with an ounce of fill and see if you like that or can you get away with less.

That's how I'll figure it out. But unless you are going to weigh out 400 bags of fill, some will use more and some will use less.

Thanks my guess.

I had my kids stuff two of the bears today, and it didn't even make a dent in my bag of poly-fil.

That is what is also in the Jumpstart script!  1/2 oz per bear.

I researched poly-fil on the web and found a great source.  I've never ordered from this store before, but you cannot beat the price. 

http://www.wholesalepillowinserts.com/product_info.php?products_id=658

5 lb. bag of poly-fil = $6.75 (plus S/H)  That should accommodate 160 prayer bears if you are using 1/2 ounce per bear.  They have larger bags too, but it's still $1.35 per pound.

We need enough for 500 bears, so that's a super deal!

Happy Stuffing!
