Providing a sense of wonder and play is something our brand strives to do every day, so naturally #internationaldayofplay is a time for us to celebrate! 🎉 Sparking imaginations and creativity is the stuff we love ❤️ #TheStuffYouLove #buildabear

Thank you to TIME CEO, Jessica Sibley, for an insightful discussion with our fearless leader Sharon Price John on Build-A-Bear's journey and dedication to adding a little more ❤️ to life!

Bringing the creativity and imagination of children to life is such a core part of our brand’s identity, that’s why we’re so excited to partner with Paramount Pictures and their new film IF. The story of IF is a visionary look at the magic, originality, and heart children put into making their imaginary friends (IFs). Turning a child’s imaginary friend into reality is just another day at work for us, but the wonder of it never fades—it’s what keeps the vision of our company thriving! Our Guests can build their own ‘Blue’ furry friend (complete with his own special heart ceremony) from the major motion picture, IF, in theatres May 17th.

Recently, we held 'Take Your Cubs to Work' day at our BearQuarters and it was a blast! From learning about marketing to merchandising, and even how to use the stuffing machine, there wasn't a dull moment. Thanks to our Cubs and all of our employees involved in making this such an awesome day ❤️ #takeyourkidstoworkday #buildabear #workplaceculture

We asked the Cubs of some of our hard-working Mama Bears at Build-A-Bear Headquarters what message they would put for their mom in one of our furry friends--safe to say the responses didn't disappoint! Thank you to all of the Moms and Mom figures throughout our company that help to make our brand so special. Happy Mother's Day! 💐 #buildabear #mothersday
