Build-A-Bear Workshop Review

As many of you know, our family is a big fan of Build-A-Bear Workshop! Years ago, I knew they offered a fun experience for adults and children alike, but it wasn't until we had kids who could enjoy it too, that I saw just how special it truly it is! Build-A-Bear Workshop offers children (and adults) the opportunity to make their own stuffed animal. Whether it's something for yourself, or someone else, it's a great way to make a personal and meaningful gift for a friend.

We have visited Build-A-Bear Workshop several times and the fun of getting to make their very own animals is something that never gets old for Kaelyn and Kaden. Everything from picking out a new furry friend to having a hand in stuffing him/her, bathing them, dressing them and naming them makes it an extra special experience unlike any other.

We live quite a distance from the nearest Build-A-Bear Workshop store though, so this means we aren't able to visit as much as we'd like. Thankfully though, they offer a super cute collection of featured pals right online. I used to think the only way to make a stuffed animal was go into an actual store, but their online selection and super user-friendly site makes it easy to purchase and make adorable gifts with the click of a button! You can even customize them with a song!!

In the month of April, Build-A-Bear has been featuring some adorable animals... here are a few:

We were excited to learn we were going to have the opportunity to review Twinkle Butterfly and Rainbow Hugs Bear!

As always, each new friend arrived in a Build-A-Bear Workshop signature box. This makes getting them in the mail that much more fun and so much like being able to get one right in the store! What child wouldn't love to see one of these land on their doorstep?! 

As we pulled each of the animals out of their box, I was impressed with the quality. I have reviewed many Build-A-Bear Workshop animals, but the quality never ceases to amaze me. So much time goes into the details....it's awesome!

Kaelyn was especially thrilled about Twinkle Butterfly. What I love about Build-A-Bear Workshop is that not all of their animals are bears or typical animals. This one is very unique, and the fact that she's purple is what stood out to Kaelyn.

 

I love that she has sparkle and is so pretty. She even has removeable wings so changing her clothes is easy. It's probably one of the neatest Build-A-Bear Workshop animals I've seen to date.

Kaden is a little boy who loves bright colors, and was all smiles when he caught a glimpse of Rainbow Hugs Bear. This bear is extremely colorful, not to mention so soft and cuddly. He enjoys carrying it around, giving it hugs and sleeping with it.

These are just a couple of the many great options to choose from right on the Build-A-Bear Workshop website. Their collection of cuddly friends is outstanding! And of course, if you live near a Build-A-Bear Workshop, you can always go into the store and make a friend of your choosing. If you've never done this before, I highly recommend it.
