Build-A-Bear Workshop has just introduced their limited edition Ice Cream Bears and they are adorable! There are four irresistible bears to choose from: Hot Fudge Sunday Bear, Bubblegum Bear, Orange Sherbet Bear, and Mint Chip Bear. Perfect for summer, these cuties come with a plush ice cream cone and a special offer for a buy one get one free kids cone from Baskin Robbins. Starting 7/2 through 7/18, you can make two bears for only $35 (or $20 each). In addition, each bear in this collection comes with a free Exclusive Ride for your avatar on Build-A-Bearville.
Build-A-Bear provided me with a $25 gift card so my daughter, Bella, and I could review the new collection. So, we headed off to our local (Erie, PA) Build-A-Bear and Bella went to work. She loved the Orange Sherbet Bear most of all and it took her a matter of 20 second to grab the bear and head for the stuffing machine.
The employee who worked with us, Erin, was great. I am always pleased with the employees at our local Build-A-Bear.
If you have never been to Build-A-Bear before, then you have to give it a try. It is not just shopping, it is an experience. Your child is involved in the entire process and the stuffed animals are so much more precious to them because they get to choose everything about them from their heart to their name.
Bella took such good care of her bear. She loves to be a little mommy, so "bathing" and clothing her new bear was a blast for her.
The final product was "Jenny", a bear that has not left Bella's side since she made her. She has taken her everywhere!
The bear is absolutely adorable. She chose the outfit that matched the Orange Sherbet Bear. Of course, no outfit is complete without shoes and she was also thrilled that they had little ice cream cone underwear for her bear!
I am never disappointed with Build-A-Bear and the new Ice Cream Bear collection was no exception. As with their other products, I am always impressed with the quality of their stuffed animals and outfits. There is great detail in their decorative stitching which I love. We have had Build-A-Bear animals in our house for 4 years and not one animal has ever shown signs of wear or tear, and my kids are rough!
If your child adores Build-A-Bear, then you may also want to consider throwing your next birthday party at your local store. Find out more here.
