To be loved...
This is Scribbles. He is my first Build-a-Bear frog, and I got him on March 28th of last year. It's amazing to see how well-loved he is now. 💜💚

this is why I love build a bears! There’s a reason you’re paying so much money for the stuffed animal! Even though he was loved, he still is held up extremely well! He also looks very adorable
