Build-A-Bear Workshop is celebrating National Teddy Bear Day this year with a limited edition teddy bear — available for only £5 and only in stores on the 9th September!
With 4 children in the house, teddy bears have been a feature for may years now. When Gemma was born we visited Build-A-Bear and chose her an elephant toy. A few years later when we expecting Jacob, we took Gemma with us to Build-A-Bear and she chose the toy for her new baby brother – a tiger. The theme continued with every child we had, and now all the children have a teddy toy on their beds every night. We have heaps of wooden, plastic and noisy play toys, but the bears are well loved, they are the ones the kids sleep with, the ones they choose to take with them if they ever stay away from home. You can’t cuddle a tractor!
We often have Teddy Bear picnics – especially in the summer holidays. It’s a lovely way to get some fresh air, enjoy eating outside and get the kids to try new foods – if Teddy loves something then the kids might give it a go too 😉
You can celebrate National Teddy Bear Day by visiting a Build-A-Bear store on the 9th September and grabbing your limited edition teddy. Two additional bears will also be available for £5 each: Lil’ Vanilla Bean Cub and Lil’ Hazelnut Cub. You can purchase a maximum of 5 £5 bears, while supplies last. For every £5 bear purchased in stores on National Teddy Bear Day, Build-A- Bear Workshop will donate one furry friend to Childhood First in the UK. To find the store closest to you, visit the Build-A-Bear store locator.

When I was little my favourite teddy was a pink and white rabbit called Flopsy Mopsy. She had a tartan dress and tartan in the inners of her ears. I still have her now, minus the dress 🙂 x
i remember having a huge unicorn as big as me! i bet my mum was so pleased i wanted to keep it haha
I didn’t have a favourite teddy when i was a child but I did have a rag doll my Auntie brought me & I loved that 🙂
Many thanks for running this lovely prize, I have been promising my 5 year old daughter I will take her one day! I had my favourite teddy when I was also 5 from a family friend. I still remember him he had a cute smile and an orange bow up until 10 he’s in almost all my old photos .
My favourite teddy when I was a child was my Pink Brush-a-love bear, I loved that it was scented & I could brush it’s fur with its tail x
It’s a long time ago and I cannot remember any teddy bears.

I still have “pink ted” from when I was born and my boys have favourite bears too! Need to organise taking the littlest two to choose bears so they can select the details like my eldest did years ago!
I had an owl. It had a string that you pulled and it played a lullaby
no I did,nt as far as I can remember
I had a monkey in a yellow tracksuit I loved it 🙂
I had Thumper from Bambi, he went everywhere with me! I hated school and used to scream and scream so they agreed to let me take him with me until I settled – (I still had him with me in year 4 I hated school that much!)
My little girl never really has loved just one cuddly toy but my little boy has a flat blankie toy called “Dog Dog” we recently discovered that it is actually a cow and that goes EVERYWHERE with him! We lost it and could only find one more in the Netherlands! It cost double the price for the shipping but it was so worth it! ….. My husband is still recovering from the shock of the price haha!
Yes, I had a Paddington Bear! He had a real pait of shine red wellies too which could come off to reveal his paws!
My favourite soft toys were all cats and dogs to start with, later branching out to wildlife!
I had a black and white panda still have it now
I had a least three favourites that all had to share my bed so I ended up with a very small space at the end of the bed!!
My favourite teddy was a polar bear called Susan who my parents bought for me when I was born xx
I used to love tigers when I was little and my twin sister loved pandas so I always had loads of tiger teddies on my bed and my sisters was filled with pandas, we used to feed them and everything!
I didnt have a teddy i had a ragdoll my grandma made me
I had a pound puppy, it was battered but I loved it!
