Build A Bear & Pudsey
Today we had an amazing day. We visited our local Build a Bear store in the Bullring Birmingham. We were kindly invited for the purpose of this review and was generously provided with £30 credit per child. We were a little nervous but was soon put at ease once we were greeted by our lovely helper Laura. She took us through the Build a Bear workshop process and doted upon my 3. They were spoilt rotten. I'm now gonna walk you through it step by step.


With their Bears picked we then moved onto the step 2 - The "Hear Me" stage. This is where we got to play with a huge voice box machine to see if they wanted to add a voice or sound box into their bear. There was lots to choose from, "I Love You"s and Lullaby's, Laughs, Growls and Giggles.



Chloe kept hers soft and squishy whilst Lily just wanted to keep pressing the pedal so went for a more firmer bear. The stuffing machine looked very magical. I was a huge rotating machine full of fluffy goodness. I could have watched it spin for ages, it was quite relaxing. Lily loved the foot pedal as you can see. We had to actually lift her off it in the end as her poor bear was going to pop lol

They then went over to a sweet little counter which had a foot pedal controlled hair dryer feature and
brushes to groom the bears. The girls loved this and quite happily crouched down playing for a few minutes.
Step 4 was the fun bit, it was the "Dress Me" part. The girls were both very excited and rushed off to have a good luck at all the gorgeous outfits that they could choose. There was such a huge variety it took a while but it was nice to see the excitement on their faces as they stood gawping up at the shelves.
All of the Clothes are lovely,there are some very sweet dresses, cosy pyjamas and fun dressing up costumes. There really is something to please every one. Lily fell in love with the very pretty Disney's Sleeping Beauty Costume, whilst Chloe choose the equally pretty Pastel Tulle Dress. She finished off her bears look with a pair of funky White Gem Faux-Fur Boots lol Ryan was too little choose an outfit so I chose for him. I went for the gorgeous Disney's Cars PJs which I think fitted him perfectly. Ryan has a cute cheeky monkey in pyjamas - not quite bananas in pyjamas but close enough.

Build a Bear workshops have teamed up with BBC Children in Need this year to give it's guests the opportunity to build their very own Pudsey or Blush bear.

New for this year is a furbulous Pudsey, who has been re-designed to feature a beary cute spotted heart, a t-shirt with an all new BBC Children in Need design and a bear-illiant pair of Pudsey slippers and pyjamas. Blush has had a make-over too with a beary pretty new pinafore dress. An additional £1 from the sale of the t-shirt, slippers, pyjamas and dress will also be donated back to the charity.
Pudsey Bear retails at £15; Pudsey Bear t-shirt at £5; Pudsey Bear Pyjamas at £10 and the Pudsey Bear slippers at £4.50 each. Blush Bear retails at £15; Blush Bear t-shirt at £5; and the Blush Bear dress at £10 each.
You can support the cause by purchasing a Pudsey or Blush Bear from any Build-A-Bear Workshop store nationwide or from the company’s website at www.Buildabear.co.uk
We had a Fantastic day today and I wanna thank Build a Bear so much for making my kids so happy. Here's us before we left:
And here's one of our lovely helper Laura with the kids:
We are all now huge fans of Build a Bear and would definitely recommend that you visit one day if you haven't already. It's not only a fun experience but a great way to get your child involved in the making of their new bear.
We give Build a Bear a HUGE Thumbs up from all of us here at Mummy Of 3 Diaries and look forward to visiting again real soon.
