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.

I had an andrex puppy, my nana had saved up the little tokens on loo roll, and sent off for him. his name was Ben, and he came with a little birth certificate. My daughter now plays with him 🙂
I had a Gordon the goffer hand puppy I loved him
It was a homemade mickey mouse made of felt, and it played a tune
A bunny I’ve had from when I was a baby, I still cuddle it now!

Mine is still my favourite teddy! His name is Ollie and he’s an owl (with a very threadbare tummy these days!)
I had a teddy called willy : ) my dad named it
Loved my Paddington Bear (think it was the little cute wellies)
I had, and still have a cuddly dog wearing a red and black striped t.shirt and a hooded coat. Had him since I was tiny, he came with me when I had my tonsils out and now, at the age of 35, I still keep him on the sofa at the bottom of my bed. Strangest thing is, his name was Baby Jones..I ended up marrying a Mr Jones and went on to have 4 more baby Jones’!
My Nana and Grandad gave me a teddy bear when I was 5 and I called him Mr Ted he’s still in good condition despite losing his hat a couple of times 🙂

My favourite teddy was called Edward. He is now 51 years old!!
My brother gave me his teddy when I was born 47 years ago and I still have it, since he passed away earlier this year it means even more to me now.
I had red ted from an aunts friend i had him for about 14 years <3
I had a teddy when I was young called Bimbo and I cuddled him so much that the only place he still had fur was his under his arms. Sadly he disappeared, together with a few other things during a house move
I had a bunny called Betsy – I still have her, and she has pride of place on my dressing table. 🙂

Never had a teddy
I’ve had a lamb called ‘Lamby’ since I was born. Though, I can still remember my first trip to Build-A-Bear to get a Teddy when I was little, who I called Tim!
I still have my captain peter puppy (35ish years on), he used to have a flying jacket, trousers and goggles, he now has some random velvet trousersmy mum made and had to have his ears replaced with weird fuzzy stuff at some point, I still love him!!
