Build a Bear outfits – new clothes for old bears!

Posted on Saturday 5th of November 2011

If your child's teddy bear or furry friend is starting to look a bit scruffy and tired, it might be time to give it a makeover!

It can often be a real challenge finding something to keep the kids occupied, especially at this time of year when the weather is often far from perfect. Why not spend some time with the kids on our website, and build a bear online? If you have siblings, a fantastic idea is to get them to build a bear for each other in secret.
