The beginning of the Build A Bear Workshop idea was born when Maxine Clark (the founder) and her friend Katie were out shopping for stuffed toys. Katie who was 10 years old at the time could not find the stuffed toy she wanted and simply said “These are so easy, we could make them.”
In 1997 the first Build A Bear Workshop store opened its doors at the Saint Louis Galleria in St. Louis, Missouri and children of all ages have been enjoying the teddy-bear retail entertainment experience ever since. There is now over 400 Build-A-Bear Workshop stores worldwide, including company-owned stores in the U.S., Puerto Rico, Canada, the United Kingdom, Ireland and France, and franchise stores in Europe, Asia, Australia and Africa. The teddy-bear workshop stores have remained to be a HUGE success and in 2007 a launch of the in-store experience was brought to the virtual world with the website buildabearville.com.
Slumber Time Frosty The Snowman
My family has adored the Build-A-Bear Workshop stores for years. We always have a good time browsing through all the teddy-bears and the experience of making our own fuzzy friend leaves lasting memories. It’s a great place to bring the kiddos and watch their faces light up with happiness from all the fun.
Recently the new Build-A-Bear holiday line up was released and I saw the Slumber Time Frosty The Snowman. I just had to have him! Frosty The Snowman was my favorite Christmas character as a child and I still love him. I requested if I could review him and shortly after my cool friend arrived on my doorstep.
He is absolutely the cutest stuffed fluff of joy I have ever seen. I don’t think anything I can say can truly describe how cute he is, but I’ll try and give as much detail as I can. He is wearing a pair of adorable snowman pajamas and slippers, and on his head is a soft gray magical hat with a red and yellow flower. When his hat is tilted up it activates his cheeks to light up green and red. The middle of the flower also flashes yellow and a musical magical sound is played.
The Slumber Time Frosty The Snowman is only available for a limited time so if you like him you better grab Frosty as soon as you can.
