Did you know September 9th is National Teddy Bear Day?
To so many kids (and adults), teddy bears are a special treasured item. They are something to love and cuddle with whenever they need to. They are a friend for when your child needs one. My kids all have their own teddys (more like multiple ones each) and their special treat is heading to our local Build-A- Bear Workshop. My daughter especially is hooked on Build-A- Bear Workshop and she would go every day if I let her!
For us Build-A- Bear Workshop is not just a store to shop in but its a whole experience you get as a bonus for buying a plush. You start with picking out the plush you want (all sorts of animals are available) and then stuffing it. After going through a whole stuffing routine (there is dancing and singing involved) you get to dress and bath your plush. You could especially spend an hour in the store and its way more than just a regular shopping trip.
Here are my kids at our last trip to the store making a kitty:
