My First Build A Bear

- brandy3 1 Comment

I am a late bloomer when it comes to making a Build A Bear. They have been around for 15 years, but my children and I made our first bears in 2009. Yes, I know it wasn’t that long ago.

I never really heard of Build A Bear growing up, I was much more worried about staying safe in my neighborhood. Then when I had children and they became interested in the store, I thought I could never afford it. They always wanted the $20 bears, So we always put it off. When I heard about a great deal they had any bear+ outfit+shoes for $29.99, I gave in and we went to Build A Bear Workshop.

I had it all wrong, it wasn’t that expensive and the kids fell in love with their new best friends. Getting to create and customize your own stuffed animal, truly is a joy.

We chose three of the most popular stuffed animals at the time. Hannah Montana bear, Hello Kitty, and the Autumn Bear.

 

 

 

I loved looking at my kids faces getting to make their Build A Bears!

Now we have over 20 furry friends and will be adding tons more to our collection.

Mega Bloks Police Fire Patrol rescue Set

- brandy3

All missions are possible when you team up with the two Rescue vehicles of the Blok Squad Fire Patrol Rescue! Build the Fire Rescue Pumper Truck and roar through the streets of Bloktropolis with sirens blaring, carrying hundreds of gallons of water to help put out a fire. Have your Blok Squad Firefighters hook up their hoses and put out fires in even the most remote areas of Bloktropolis! Construct the Fire Patrol ATV and have your Blok Squad Firefighter ride through the toughest terrains to reach any country or city fire!

***** When we first received this set, my son would not stop begging for it to get put together. He wants to be a Fireman when he grows up, so as you can imagine this has become one of his new favorite toys.  The set is really cute, you have a fire truck that opens up to store little axes. And you can also build a small ATV, both have places for the Firemen to sit.  My only complaint is that it fell apart easily, which was to expected since they are blocks. So I have rebuilt it about 35 times in the past month. LOL!

Retail: $9.99
