Thankfully, we have Build-A-Bear within 15 minutes of our home. I think that is awesome because we can turn a trip to Build-A-Bear into a family night! It sure is an event when you walk into a Build-A-Bear store (click HERE to find a store near you). We walk in and the first thing we see is a wall full of stuffed animals on the right and on the left we have another wall full of stuffed animals...see for yourself...
They make a huge production out of "building" your stuffed animal choice. From picking out the animal of your choice to picking out the heart for the bears chest and making a wish on it, to washing the animal up in the "tub", it is an event that my daughter just loves!
The point we are at now - since she has a few animals to choose from - we still have fun at Build-A-Bear because they have a huge assortment of accessories and clothing items to choose from for the animals that we already have at home. It is much nicer on our pocket book too to only be picking out an outfit versus the whole shabang! Honestly though, you can get animals as low as $10 and on up. It is fun for the whole family!! If you haven't gone to Build-A-Bear yet, stop in and check one out...you may soon become as addicted as we are!! :)
GET YOUR OWN! Head on over to Build-A-Bear to do a little shopping of your own!! If you don't have a Build-A-Bear near you, you can always purchase the bears and furry friends and all the accessories online!

Their North American River Otter is so much cuter than the real thing. It's my favorite thing they have.

I like the exclusive animals they have on the site. Yes, you can go into the store, but online is just as good for unique animals.
ReplyDeleteFun giveaway! I love Build-A-Bear. I've been wanting to get my daughter the Rainbow Fairy Dress for her bear - or monkey. It's so cute.

ReplyDeleteI love the New Baby Brown Sugar Puppy. We are planning on taking my 2.5 year to Build-A-Bear for the first time in a few weeks. We want him to make a special bear to give to his little brother that is due in a little over a month. We think it will help him with the "change" in the family and welcoming his new little baby brother!

I'm a fan on facebook and love the updatesthey email out. For any of you that have kids 5-15 their virtual world is huge fun for the kids too. My daughter plays on it while talking to her cousins in CA and then they can see each other their and play the games together. It has definitely made them closer.
ReplyDeleteMy husband and I thought that our (then) 2 year old would have a great time "building a bear" with daddy, while mommy was in the hospital with his baby sister. He picked out a "dino" and has slept with it ever since. :)
ReplyDeleteI love the Blossom Bunny! My daughter would no doubt pick her and dress her as Princess Tiana.
ReplyDeleteI love the 16 in. Curly Teddy!
