Taking your kid to the big city? Bring them to Build-A-Bear Workshop at its brand-new flagship in Herald Square! It’s a kid’s dream come true to make their own plush toy—and it’s not just bears anymore. At the store, you can make a new Pikachu, Elsa from Frozen, a T. Rex, or Wonder Woman. And with this City Guide coupon, you can have $5 off a purchase of $25 or more!
The store is jam-packed with animal friends, tiny clothing from a Spider-Man costume to a Hot Wheels racing outfit, and accessories like fairy wings and cars. Your child’s favorite Disney, Marvel, Kabu, Pokemon, and Star Wars characters can be stuffed, customized, and brought home with you.
The Herald Square store carries an exclusive line of New York-themed clothes and accessories. There are Rangers and Nets uniforms, New York-themed t-shirts, and even a Statue of Liberty costume. There is no end to the variations of bears and other animals you can create. If you can imagine it, you can build it!
Build-A-Bear offers you the chance to choose an animal from among the many options available. You might want a stuffed rabbit or a Power Ranger Bear, a My Little Pony, or a great white shark. Then comes the best part! This store’s central feature is the stuffing machine, where you fill your animal with white fluff and pack it as tightly as you can to make your animal full and huggable.
Then you pick your bear’s outfit and accessories. You might want your bear in a football helmet, a tutu, or a cape!
Extras like embroidery, scents, and sound effects make the bear even more special. Have your child’s name or a special message embroidered onto the bear’s paw, or record your own voice so your child hears you speak when they squeeze their new friend. You can also choose from among a variety of songs for sound effects, as well as scents like lavender, cotton candy, and toasted marshmallow.
The final step is printing a birth certificate for the furry friend you’ve made!
New to Build-A-Bear is the "PAWsitively Awesome World of Kabu." This recently launched lifestyle brand lets kids journey to the playful town of Pawston to join the Kabu fun with Bearnice, Pawlette, Catlynn, and the rest of the team.
