Build A Bear Workshop

We had a Girl Scout party at Build a Bear and it was great! The girls had earned money sellng cookies and they got to choose what they wanted to do with it and they unanimously chose Build a Bear! The staff at Build a Bear was wonderful. They led the entire party and I, as troop leader, did not have to do a thing except write the check! The girls got to pick out a furry animal skin, stuff it, name it, fluff it, and dress it. They loved being able to pick out stuff and put it right on their animals. Each girl got to take home a stuffed friend to remember the party and they had so much fun making it. It is a bit pricey, depending on the animal you choose. We limited the girls to the amount that they could spend so it wasn't too bad. Making and dressing the animal cost about $20 per kid. It was a great party! more

This is a nice place to take your child. They have so many "unstuffed" animals there to choose from. First your child chooses what size and type animal/bear they want. Then you decided if you want your new friend to have voice. They offer all different sayings or one where you can put your own message on. Then they have this small heart and while they are stuffing your new friend they make you hold the heart and make a wish and turn around in circles and then put it in your new friend for its heart. What a cute idea! Then after that they close your new friend up. Then from there they have stations where you can give your new friend a bath and all. (not real water) Next comes clothing. There are sooooooo many outfits to choose from for you new friend. They also have a big variety of panties for the "stuffed" along w/ sun glasses, shoes, hats and more. They have a dressing room to dress up your friend. Then you fill out all of the info on their computer which is easy to use and its puts it all on a birth certificate! Its now time for you to check out. This is very pricey. But if its a treat then so be it. This isn't something I would do everyday. Your new friend is then placed in a cardboard box with a handle and cut out windows. It looks just like a house. They also offer birthday partys too! This is a fun place!!! more
