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.

my favourite teddy was a little dinosaur. my mum got me it when she gave birth to me, some woman came round with a trolley in the hospital with teddies on, and i have still got him, he is called dino!
My favourite teddy was my dog I named flopsy, he is a pound puppy brand and has been on many adventures with me! He still sleeps at the end of my bed 🙂
When I was little my favourite teddy was called beany because his body was made with beans.
When i was little it was a duck that quacked lol. i still have it and my first word was duck so very special 🙂
I did and I still have him now! He’s quite threadbare, he’s had a lot of mending and has a button in place of one of his eyes. His name is Custard, mostly because I like custard and he’s a yellowy sort of colour. 🙂
I never had a soft toy, but would go to bed with my shinpads on!!
