Build a Bear
July 23, 2010 – 11:49 am | No Comment

I can’t fault the staff at our local Build a Bear store, they were exceptional and made the morning a really fun experience for Flea. She loves her soft toy and so does her cousin. But at £50 apiece, I don’t think she loves it enough to make this value for money. Other experienced parents have told me the way to make Build a Bear Work is to give kids a price limit before you go into the store, and then let them spend it how they choose – so it’s possible to get a bear for £9.99 and an outfit for another £10 or so. And it helps if you buy something at Build a Bear with 2 feet, rather than 4!

Paper flowers kitInitial thoughts: I remember making paper flowers by the bunches when I was younger so I loved the idea of this kit and was couldn’t wait to start getting crafty with Squidge.

We liked: We loved the simplicity of it. Just tissue paper and pipe cleaner.  It was nice to see that there were three different shapes of flowers to make and we had so much fun choosing the colour combinations.

We weren’t keen: This ticked all the boxes for me – no complaints!

Overall: This bright and colourful imaginative toy is a great way to help children with their hand eye coordination while also having fun and being creative.  It’s just what I’m looking for when buying stocking fillers – not too expensive, no batteries or small parts.  This sort of thing is a win win for me and we thoroughly enjoyed it.
