Halloween is already a favorite around here, but Build-A-Bear has found a way to make it even more fun: let the kids create their very own spooky sidekick to work into their costume.
It’s kind of a pain to invest money in a Halloween costume they’ll wear once and never touch again, but building a costume around a Build-A-Bear stuffed animal is a clever way to keep the fun going all year long.
Take this giant gargoyle, for example. Maybe your child dresses like Quasimodo or Esmeralda from Hunchback of Notre Dame! Or pair a DIY vampire costume with the giant posable stuffed bat.
Listen, with all the options available at Build-A-Bear, your possibilities are endless. And so is the fun. This is one Halloween tradition we recommend starting this year. Your kids will love it.
