When we couldn’t find what we were looking for Katie said, “You know, we could make these.” She meant that we should buy some plush fabric and beans and go home to do a craft project. In late 1996, Katie, Jack and I were on a hunt for Beanie Babies. Teddy played a big part in inspiring Build-A-Bear Workshop, along with my young friends – Katie, who was 10 years old at the time and her 7-year-old brother Jack, and of course their bears George and Teddy. In Build-A-Bear Workshop I know I’ve found that furbulous bear a million times over. I lost him when I was 10 years old and I’ve been looking for him ever since. My bear Teddy was my first best friend and helped shape me into the person I am today. ![]() How the store came to be Build-A-Bear Workshop® was created on the simple premise that everyone, no matter age or gender, has a beary special place in their heart for their teddy bear.
