Both of my daughters have their birthdays a month apart, so we usually do a double birthday party, in between their birthdays.
This year we settled on Build A Bear Workshop, my kids absolutely love it there.
A Build A Bear party is easy to schedule online, by phone or in store. You just add how many kids you would like and set a budget. You can have a party for $10 a child.
We wanted to have 10 kids total, unfortunately we had a lot of cancellations, so we ended up with 7 people. Which was still good, you need at least 6 people for a party.
Our host (Cathy) met with us, and began by introducing herself and making name tags for everyone in the party.
Next was the parade around the store to the animals to pick one out.
Everyone was able to pick out the animal they wanted.
Everyone sat back in a circle and had to name their bears, our host put the names on tags. It’s easier to make the birth certificates that way, then having a full party take turns on the computers. At this time they also have the guests put their names on a special gift for the birthday child.
Then it was time to pick out your hearts for your animals, and of course do a little exercise with the hearts.
I really have to give our hostess Cathy a big Thank you, our party was a little crazy with the hearts, and she was very nice about cleaning it up.
Next, was a game of hot potato with a mini animal, to see who was going to get to stuff their animal.
then of course the stuffing animals, then you get to wash and pamper your animal.
Then you get to choose outfits, that was the most hard part for the kids I think. They would choose an outfit and then change their mind. The good thing was that they were allowed to change them if they wanted.
Can you tell how excited he is? Cars clothes! LOL
Don’t forget that you can also add sound, shoes and accessories to any bear or party package if you would like.
To round out the end of the party, our host took a picture of everyone and their furry friend, sand happy Birthday and presented the Birthday girls with their special gifts.

Over all the party went really great, and our host was awesome even through a few melt downs. I have no complaints about the party it was great, my only complaint would be that the store we had the party had a lot of animals and clothes that were out of stock. My daughter really wanted Miss Piggy but it was not available. My daughter even wants to have her next birthday t Build A Bear Workshop again.
Build A Bear work shop only has a few locations with actual party rooms so there is no eating enjoying cupcakes in the store, and your party host will bundle your gifts in a bag and put them aside for you to open at home.
