Build-A-Bear

>> November 8, 2008


Build-A-Bear Workshops are the kind of store that you like to make a "special visit" with your children.  It's a big deal to kids to create their very own best friends.  When you go into a Build-A-Bear, you are greeted by a Bear Builder Associate who's job it is to help guide you through this magical process.  
  • The first thing your child does is choose which friend they want to make. Thank you Mom Select for sending us the Brown Sugar Puppy (seen above).  You can also choose from bears, bunnies, cats, zoo animals and even a turkey!
  • Next you get to record your very own Build a Sound message for your friends.
  • Step three, you take your friend to the Stuff Me Station so they can get fluffed up.  This is also where your child gets to pick out a very special heart to place in their Build a Bear.
  • After your child's friend has been stuffed, loved and given a heart it is time for them to be stitched up.
  • Your child then take their friend to get a spa treatment and good ole fur brushing.
  • Step 5 involved your child picking out a name, getting a birth certificate and a very special tracking ID if their friend were to ever get lost.
  • Finally they get to pick out it's clothes and take it home to be loved forever.
My little girl also has a stuffed bear that she made when she was about a 1 1/2.  His name is Buddy and he truly his her buddy. 
BUY IT:
Build-a-Bear animals are available online at www.buildabear.com

WIN IT:
Now you have a chance to win a $10 Gift Card to Build-A-Bear Workshops.  All you have to do is go visit the Build-A-Bear website, and return here telling us your favorite furry friend and who you would buy it for.

I bought my first Build-a-Bear teddy bear when I was pregnant. My husband and I made a bear for our baby girl and named it the name we would have picked it she was to be a boy. With all the pregnancy hormones it was a very emotional purchase, especially when we had to make a wish and put the heart in the bear. Now my "baby" is 9 years old and she would love the High School Musical bear! Thank you! larmailbox@yahoo.com
