Last time I took the kids to our local Build-A-Bear Workshop we had so much fun. My son picked a camouflage bear and dressed him up in a crazy outfit. My daughter’s bear was all pink, of course. Build-A-Bear has just released a brand new batch of awesome animals, their Farmer’s Market Collection. My lucky kids had the opportunity to review the Sheep and we love him, so much so that we fight over him. Poor Sheep. 😉
Farmer’s Market Collection Build-A-Bears are soft and cuddly. My son and I were the ones to answer the door when our Sheep was delivered and we both immediately fell in love. This guy is soft and cuddly. Our other Build-A-Bears are a little more rigid. I don’t know if that’s because the kids stuffed them to the gills when we made them in the store, or because their are just stiffer bears (I sorta think it’s the former), but I really like the floppiness of the Sheep. So comfy for the kids to snuggle with!
There are several cute animals to choose from. There’s a Horse, Pig, Sheep, and Cow. And check out the cute little smallfrys Pig and Cow. Like little farm animal babies! If you order online you’ll be able to choose from two online-exclusive animals, too: the Llama and the Billy Goat. Aren’t they all so cute?
Little kids love farm animals. I don’t know about you, but some of my kids’ first words were animal names and sounds. Kids love animals, especially farm animals. We have tons of books with farm animals in them. They’re just familiar and somehow more endearing that other critters. My son was so smitten with our Sheep, he immediately named him Bob. I think that’s spelled more like Baaaaab. Get it? And my kids like to fight over poor Bob, taking turns letting him sleep in their beds at night. You can kind of see the death grip my little guy has on his buddy. I think we’ll have to hit the mall and grab ourselves another farm animal for our at-home zoo to try to cut down on the Bob battles.
Making your own Build-A-Bear is so fun. When I took the kids to make their bears they had a blast. All the ways you can personalized your creatures are so neat. They loved stepping on the pedal to stuff their bears, washing them off in the shower, and most of all, picking out their clothes.

I love Build a Bear…we got our son his first stuffed animal while I was pregnant from BaB. My favorite part has always been the little red heart that you get to place inside. I would probably pick the sheep, but I think my son would pick the cow or pig!

Patricia Frederick says

I love the little hearts the kids warm up and kiss to put inside the bears
Mollie says
I love that we only have to walk by the store and they get all excited! I am partial to the horse! Love that they are carrying my favorite animal now!
Joy says
I love how the animals hold up so well and how much the kids love the special friends that they made at the workshop.
Shiloh L says
I think the pig is pretty darn cute. Then again that cow is pretty cool too 😉
Victoria Cataloni says
I loved Build-a-Bear when I went and i would love to take my mom one day ( she is really into all the cute stuff) And I cant decide which one I like the most, the pig or sheep, if I had to choose though I would pick the pig 🙂

We are huge Build a bear fans. My son can’t seem to get enough of that place. That sheep is so cute! So is the horse and the cow and………….
Brenda Putnam says
I love the little horse but they all are so very cute. Any child or grandchild would be happy to get one of the Build-a-Bear collection!! My grandchildren have everything from a giraffe, cuddly bears and a bridal elephant (I might add the bride comes with her own tusks, which made no difference to my granddaughter). You see, she picked out the wardrobe herself. Such wonderful memories!

Me and my daughter love Build A Bear, from when you first walk in the store and see all the new and exciting bears, to the wonderful clothing they have to chose from. I love the way they let the children participate in the making of the bear and picking out the name for the birth certificate. There is so much about build a bear but the most important part is the smile it put on her face.

i also love the cow soooo very cute

I love that the kids have so much fun making them!
