Build – A – Buddy, inspired by both Build – A –  Bear and American Girl, allows children to build their very own stuffed  friend that they can customize to reflect their unique personalities  and preferences. Whether it's a sporty bear with a jersey and sneakers, a  glamorous bear with a sparkly dress and tiara, or an adventurous bear  with a backpack and hiking boots, the possibilities are endless.

In  addition to customizing their bear's appearance, children will create a  unique story about their bear. This interactive element encourages kids  to use their imagination and creativity as they write about their  bear’s adventures. Each story is then printed and included in their very  own copy of our newspaper, The Teddy Bear Times. This way, the bear  becomes more than just a toy; it transforms into a cherished friend with  a rich history and character, making the experience not only fun but  also educational and memorable.
