We spent $2 on his BUILD-A-BEAR 🧸

After seeing so much on the internet about the “pay your age” build-a-bear, we finally went ahead and took our soon to be two year old to get his!

Here’s the details (as explained by our local location):

🧸 pay your age… $1 for one year old, $2 for two year old, etc.

🧸 you can redeem this offer ANY TIME during your child’s birthday month

🧸 the bear itself normally costs $14

This was actually a much more fun experience than I originally thought it’d be. They filled out a sticker with the name and age of my son (my toddler ripped it up before I could take a pic), and then proceeded to work with him on stuffing the bear (including a little heart), and then sewed it and that was that!

The bear itself was much higher quality than anticipated. He’s pretty solid (for a stuffy) and seems like he will hold up just fine to our crazy toddler.
