I don't think there is a child around that doesn't like Build-A-Bear Workshop.   I think most parents do as well because it's such a great experience for your family to experience and the environment is just magical.  It's always been one of my favorites not only from the expanded selection of animals but also the people who work there.  They are such happy wonderful people to spend day in making smiles on the faces of so many children.  We received a complimentary gift card to experience some of the magic this weekend from Build-A-Bear Workshop.

We were there as soon as the store opened and couldn't wait.  The girls were excited to make Clarise as they made Rudolph last year.  What I liked about the store was we were greeted by the beautiful Christmas displays adding to the magical spirit of the holidays approaching.  

  

The holiday line brings back memories since it includes:

• Rudolph
• Clarice
• Abominable Snow Monster
• Spotted Elephant
• Charlie-in-the-Box
• Misfit Doll

 

The girls picked up Clarice and were ready to go!  Our bear helper was so nice, friendly and cheerful that the girls naturally gravitated towards her.  She was patient with them and just added to the wonderful experience we had making our Clarices.

For an extra purchase of $6, children can add the Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer song.  By pressing her ear, Clarice also has a heart that lights up and has cute sayings.  Although we didn't purchase any of the adorable Christmas outfits, we did purchase the jingle bell collars as they were so cute and were only $4.

   

After they made their Clarice's, it was off to wash them and dress them which is yet another highlight of the experience.  The displays around the store are perfect as they don't crowd the walk way and they are appealing in that the children get to see how the outfits look on select model bears and animals.  They did a beautiful job with all of them.

  

Build-A-Bear Workshop was another great experience for my girls and I was even able to pick up a gift card for my new grand baby so her parents can give her a first Christmas experience to cherish.  There are so many wonderful aspects of Build-A-Bear Workshop that will always keep us coming back.
