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.

i had a lifesize rupart the bear teddy. the pullcord to make him talk had long since been broken but he still came everywhere with me.
Fun shine bear, I’ve had him since I was two, he use to go everywhere with me playgroup, school, parties holidays, his got a glue stain on his leg from crafts at school and is now old and tatty but sits on my bed now and my two know his mummy’s bear and old so. Be gentle with him. When I was young my mum use to have to take him from my bed when I was a sleep wash dry and return him as I hated being parted from me, he knows all my secrets and when I’m not well enemy now I have a cuddle with him
I had a little fluffy dog that I called woof that I received from an aunt when I was a toddler, I took him everywhere and by the time I was 6 he was so threadbare, his ear had fallen off. He still managed to survive and I had him until I was 11 when he got lost in a house move. Or that’s what my parents told me! 🙂
Yes, Ernie from Sesame Street. I took him all over the world, he’s still in my house x
I wasn’t allowed pets so the closest thing to a pet was my teddy bear that was a dog.
Mine was little Paddington bear, loved him❤️
Yeah t was one of those ones that copied everything you said.
Yes I did call my Teddy bear Bhalu(which is a hindi name for Bear).It was my favourite teddy bear when I was little and treated him as my little baby!
I did have a favourite teddy. He was filled with straw and growled.
I had a little white bear that I put orange trousers on he had a brown nose so I called him Fudge!
I had a dog called wrinkles, it was a puppt type that talked and ate a bone, I was so excited when i got it for christmas that i had to phone everyone in the family to tell them about my dog lol
I had a care bear that I adored. I still had it when I had my first child, so that was something special to pass on to my own children.
I had care bear it still sits on my bed now
My favourite teddy bear as a child was Daisy. I got her when I was a baby, but didn’t really play with her until my grandma passed away. I was 5 years old and Daisy became a great comfort to me. She is still my favourite today and even comes to bed with me! 🙂 x
I had a Mickey Mouse that my grandparents brought back from Disney Land for me in the 80’s. It is very worn out with it’s stuffing falling out now!
I didn’t have a favourite teddy bear, but I did have a Cabbage Patch Kid. Her name was Natasha Trudy and she still lives at my mums house.
I didn’t but my son does and he’s called Kiki 🙂
