| - I've never really been inside a Build-a Bear store until yesterday. We bought our little buddy one for Christmas. Basically, the process is to browse the plethora of stuffed animals they have on display first. These range from, yes, bears, to Hello Kitty, Batman, Spiderman, Ninja Turtles, the "Frozen" movie characters, and more. Once you make your choice, the animal/character of your choice is stuffed by one of the kind ladies at the stuffing station. Our pal Deegan chose a Ninja Turtle ($25) and he got to insert the toy heart into his turtle after he rubbed the heart, kissed it, and made a wish. I love how the children are able to interact with the making of their new friend. There are tons of accessories to go along with the toy, so I can see how the price tag can go up if your kid goes crazy. Deegan just added swords to his turtle. There's also a computer station where "birth certificates" are created for your new toy. Overall, this is a great gift for all ages and the prices aren't too bad at all for the experience and the joy on our little friend's face. Merry Christmas, D!
