This is a good place to take your kids and have them build the bear. Don't do it yourself and give it too them, you spoil the fun

Build A Bear Workshop in the Fashion Valley Mall is a great place to make a teddy bear or stuffed animal. It is very interactive and fun. You are able to pick out an animal and then stuff it yourself, dress it in a variety of clothes and even name it and get a birth certificate with it. This is a great place to take your children or even to throw a birthday party.

Build A Bear is a very creative store that allows kids to pick out, stuff, name, dress, and care for a teddy bear. The kids love to make their own stuffed animal and the build a bear workshop is a great place for kids.

My sisters brownie troop went to Build a Bear and each girl got to pick out everything all on their own, it was a neat experience. If you aren't familar with this store. It looks similar to a toy factory. The atmosphere is very bright and inviting. You select the animal you want to bring to life, take it over to be stuffed - you can put a sound in it if you want and every animal has a heart so you kiss it make a wish and put the heart in and they stuff it to your liking. Then you can take it around and give it a pretend bath and groom it's hair. Pick out outfits for your animal. Then the final stage is getting it's birth certificate - you sit at small computers and type up your animals information. It's all very fun. Each animal goes home in it's own special box. The staff is very friendly and the prices are good. They also have a website so incase you want to order additional clothes later and what not that's available also.

I actually have a friend who works here and I've probably made quite a few bears in my times here. They have one of the coolest concepts: make your own teddy bear, from its body, to its eyes, to what it wears! You even get to stuff it yourself, which is great, whether you are young or old. The only thing I can say is that its a wonderful experience, but expect to go deep into the pockets, its a really fun time.
