My family and I got to experiance the fun and excitement of Build A Bear.   I have never been to Build A Bear before this  trip, and honestly i had it all wrong. My impression always was i’d spend at least $80 to $100 if i went in there.

Our experience overall was great we picked out our bears. We chose Hannah Montana Bear, Hello Kitty, and the new Autumn Fall Bear.

then you stuff and sew up your animal, well actually a store employee does it. They let you choose a heart for your animal and then you have the option to add a sound.

You can choose to dress your animal, and the variety of clothing  is endless. Plus don’t forget shoes and accessories.

our end results

We had so much fun and the staff was so wonderful, we even got to make birth certificates for our animals. 

I got to meet and chat with the assistant manager here at our Greensboro NC store Sarah

she was very helpful and explained the whole process to me.  She helped My children with dressing and naming their bears.

she said that a average person would spend about $30-$40 per visit. which is way off what i thought. That really surprised me.

right now they even have a great special going on:

get a bear(any bear) + a hanging outfit + shoes= all you spend is 29.99

that’s such an amazing deal, but hurry this offer ends 8/31/09

we had such a great experiance and now my daughter is even planning her birthday to be held at build a bear.
