Build-A-Bear Quarterly
June 15, 2021 - September 14, 2021

Build-A-Bear Workshop, Inc. is an American retailer headquartered in Overland, Missouri that sells teddy bears and other stuffed animals and characters. Customers go through an interactive process in which the stuffed animal of their choice is assembled and tailored to their own preferences during their visit to the store. These preferences include being able to choose from numerous different stuffed animals ( bears, bunnies, cats and lots more!), along with varying scents, sounds, and outfits (my kids have sports clothes, cheer clothes, beach clothes for their build-a bears).
Build-A-Bear Workshop is the largest chain that operates in this style. The company's slogan was "Where Best Friends Are Made" from 1997–2013 when it was changed to "The Most Fun You'll Ever Make." I have years of memories of birthday parties and outings with my children to this fun and interactive store!

Let's have some fun with our own version of Build-A-Bear!
There are many different animals to create in the real store, not just bears! I am going use 'bears' for the levels, but you will have a choice of animal to create.

Level 2- Create 2 bears- Read 16 books

I'm horrible at coming up with names! Anyone willing to help me name a brushed, understuffed, superhero dog that speaks a phrase, wears an amulet/medal (jewelry), and a blue ribbon????

Some ideas-
Rocket (from Guardians of the Galaxy)
Loki
Krypto (Superman’s dog)

Here’s a link to a cute list where I got those from- lots to choose from!

Thanks!

I’m leaning towards Beast, Krypto, Quinn, or Banner. Just have to see which my reading takes me closest to.
