Build-A-Bear Workshop

Build-A-Bear was initially designed as a place where kids could go to make their unique teddy bears that included their now-famous Heart Ceremony. However, the company has since evolved into a multi-generational, multi-dimensional global brand that appeals to a variety of consumer demographics. Build-A-Bear is celebrating its 25th anniversary this year, and through the creation of more than 200 million furry friends worldwide, it is celebrating love, hugs, creativity, laughter, fun, and friendship.

Start your adventure when you make a furry friend at Build-A-Bear Workshop! Children at Build-A-Bear Workshop get to experience an interactive, hands-on process for creating their stuffed animals. Choose from over 30 bears, bunnies, dogs, and more to make. Add lots of filling and write a wish on a heart. Personalize your friend with cute outfits, accessories, sounds, scents, and even a message YOU record. Let your imagination soar as you bring your new friend to life!
