Build a bear parties

[lilima]

Has anyone had one or been to one? What are they like? DD would love one, but I am not sure....

We did one for dd's 5th. I think next time I'd wait for another year, but they loved it and I still hear from parents that those toys hold a very special place and are much loved.
From there we walked over to the pancake parlor in the same complex and the had a pancake birthday cake and mini milkshakes. It was great, and so easy.

How long do they go for?

Dd went to one. It was an hour. 2 years later she still talks about it.

DD1 went to one. Loved the bear building etc. downside no food/ cake part there. You'd need do that elsewhere.

I was thinking if we went to high point, then we could have a teddy bears picnic at the park in Maribyrnong. Unless anyone knows anywhere better around there?

Also does anyone know how expensive? It says starting at $15, but that would give you a really basic bear I would imagine with no clothes.

We did Highpoint. We set a max of $20 per child. If they wanted clothes etc the parents could pay.
I have heard of one that comes to you, if you wanted to prepare for eating afterwards

Is that through build a bear Lara, or someone different? (Sorry for so many Q's)

[littlelara]

Someone different, I would think. Maybe if you google build a bear at home?

my DD went to one last week- they set $25 per child to spend- so the kids got a reasonable bear and an outfit to take home.
afterwards the party hosts shouted the kids mc donalds in the food court- she had like 12 people at her party so it aint a cheap party.
personally if she is interested in build a bear- then when not take her and a couple of friends to build a bear privately and that way you dont have to worry about minimum numbers etc.
Btw it was a 10th birthday party she went to

Stufflers are the ones at home if you google that.

Are they any good?
