Build-A-Bear Review and Giveaway
Monday, January 25, 2010
Saturday we had yet again another cold day, but what better way to spend it other than at Build-A-Bear! The kids absolutely love Build-A-Bear and I will admit that I actually have fun every time we go as well.
On Saturday we went to let the kids build the new Be Mine Dalmatian. I love watching the kids do the jumping up and down and spinning around before they can start stuffing their Build-A-Bear plus, and even my fourteen year old does everything that they ask her to do. Sometimes just for kicks I have noticed that they actually request her to do more moves than they do my son. But all in all it is still fun to watch. She did decide not to wash her dog on Saturday but no worries there. Her little brother took care of that and gave her Val Valentino (what she named it) a fantastic bath! This little guy is super soft and just absolutely adorable. Any adult or child would love to receive this, plus remember you can add sound as well. You could always include a special message to your sweetheart or child to go into Be Mine Dalmatian.
Here are pictures of my kids with the Be Mine Dalmatian:
At Build-A-Bear, their mission is to bring the Teddy Bear to life and they do an absolute fantastic job at that! For a child to be able to pick to pick out the plush of their choice, pick out a special heart as well as give it a kiss really does make it mean more to the child. My son loves the washing part and picking out the clothes as well. Although I have noticed that they clothes come off once we arrive home. I have never figured that part out, but it just isn't complete without the clothing.
I also wanted to mention that the Build-A-Bear Workshop Foundation is contributing $15,000 to the Red Cross response fund and now through Jan. 31, the company is inviting its Guests to help by donating $1 at checkout registers in any of the United States Build-A-Bear Workshop retail locations.We were asked to donate and the kids both said yes at checkout. It is really fantastic that Build-A-Bear is helping raise funds for Haiti.
Also, here are two fantastic coupons to help make your bear extra special by adding sound. One is for store yes and one is for online use. (Click Coupons To Make Bigger)
WIN,WIN,WIN
