.....A little doll will do it.....: Tuesday, I had teddies on my mind

So it took me until Tuesday to open what we bought at the Build a Bear Workshop

Yes, that is two bears

The bears are gifted in a box, that has been sketched to look like little houses. I imagine the idea is that the boxes can be an activity in themselves - colour them in or decorate them.

Oh, that is not one of the bears.

Build a Bears, have Build a Bear buddies.

Isn't it cute, lamby

You can't have too much sheep, or goats for that matter

Sombrita are you in there?

Build a Bear Buddies have their own wardrobe as well

This is a dragon onesie, the bears have a similar outfit option - I think this is supposed to be sleepwear. The spikes will glow in the dark.

I had seen this outfit in my weekly browse pre-Monday 25th, and thought it would fit Horsey

But if it was meant to fit a Buddy, I had better find that out too.

nnnnnnnnnn, inhale, nnnnnn

Oh, thats for the back leg,

Ta da. Lamby's ears are lower on the head then the Buddy Bears, so the ear holes don't match up

The velcro for the opening in the back, kept snagging in his lamby fleece, and there is a little hole under the dragon tail for the teddy tail.

The gift for its intended

Now for the bears................

I forgot to take a lot of pictures of the bears in store, but they ranged from plain colours, to rainbows, green, characters, just take a look at the website http://www.buildabear.com.au/ for all the options.

I wanted a bear to dress. part of the idea was to see if the clothes would fit My dolls, Pippa suggested that maybe a plain colour would be best, as the other options were way too busy, and the outfits plus the colours of the bear fur would be too much

Sneaky, or sensible, we had already decided from the website who would be coming home.

Two?

Pippa informed me that bears usually have twins

and well there are outfits suitable for girls and for boys, and

so we have Alex and Aleisha

after being stuffed, they got a little heart put inside them, and their unique bar code, the opening is closed, and then to the instore computer to register them. If the bears are lost, their unique bar code will identify their owner and where they belong, hehehe, bit like the pound for stray dogs. They come with a birth certificate.
