I called to double check that my local build a bear accepts the egiftcards from costco and then I went ahead and bought them! I got $300 worth of giftcards for $210. Thats such a great savings! I would have never thought to check costco! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-your-child-like-a-build-a-bear-party#post-2798902 Mon, 22 Jan 2018 15:07:28 +0000 PinkElephant 2798902@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My daughter (turning six this summer) would love it! I will say, though, that I took my 3.5 and 5.5 year old girls just before chirstmas with four friends, and it was a much FASTER experience than I expected. There was no lingering over choices, admiring outfits, etc. - they chose really fast, made their animals, and were finished. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-your-child-like-a-build-a-bear-party#post-2798901 Mon, 22 Jan 2018 15:07:24 +0000 Mrsbells 2798901@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@abbydabbydoodlebug: that sounds like its forming into a fun little family tradition! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-your-child-like-a-build-a-bear-party#post-2798899 Mon, 22 Jan 2018 15:04:15 +0000 abbydabbydoodlebug 2798899@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrsbells: it's a great deal! Dd's party is in 2 weeks and I'm hoping my MIL will take her to do it as a special date together. They did it last year and she loved it so much. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-your-child-like-a-build-a-bear-party#post-2798894 Mon, 22 Jan 2018 14:54:32 +0000 wrkbrk 2798894@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lawbee11: That sounds like a perfect party for ME.

Maybe next year. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-your-child-like-a-build-a-bear-party#post-2798873 Mon, 22 Jan 2018 13:59:53 +0000 Mrsbells 2798873@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lawbee11: haha i was just going to ask about the food situation! Thank you so much! I still have a few months to decide but atleast now I feel more informed about it </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-your-child-like-a-build-a-bear-party#post-2798868 Mon, 22 Jan 2018 13:53:19 +0000 lawbee11 2798868@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrsbells: Ours is at a mall, and they don't do private parties where they shut the store down, so we did ours at 10am on a Saturday (right when they open) and we pretty much had the place to ourselves. Afterwards we had chick-fil-a nugget trays, chips, and cake in the food court. We got to the food court early and decorated before the party started. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-your-child-like-a-build-a-bear-party#post-2798867 Mon, 22 Jan 2018 13:50:55 +0000 Mrsbells 2798867@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lawbee11: Thank you!! that is so helpful! yes we do have a costco membership so that should work out well. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-your-child-like-a-build-a-bear-party#post-2798865 Mon, 22 Jan 2018 13:46:38 +0000 lawbee11 2798865@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrsbells: We did! It was great. I think at 6 it would be even better. We had boys and girls and they all had fun. And we didn't have to worry about favors because the bears were their favors. We did the option where the kids could pick whichever stuffed animal they wanted. It was more expensive but I worried about kids being upset about not getting the one they want. Also, not sure if you have a Costco membership, but they sell discounted BaB gift cards. Right now they have $100 in gift cards for $69.99. I bought a bunch of gift cards and that's how I paid for the party.</p> <p>ETA: Also, you can book it online and they have the pricing/packages there as well. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-your-child-like-a-build-a-bear-party#post-2798858 Mon, 22 Jan 2018 13:41:28 +0000 Mrsbells 2798858@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Truth Bombs: thanks for sharing that information hopefully @lawbe chimes in with her experience.</p> <p> @looch: Thats a really good question, I'll have to add that to my list of things to ask when i call to get information about their party options </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-your-child-like-a-build-a-bear-party#post-2798849 Mon, 22 Jan 2018 13:16:31 +0000 looch 2798849@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrsbells: Yes, my son would love it. He's 7 now, but he has been wanting to do build a bear since he was 5!</p> <p>The only thing is that he's very specific, he wouldn't want a bear, he wanted a minion. Not sure what you can do about offering different options? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-your-child-like-a-build-a-bear-party#post-2798846 Mon, 22 Jan 2018 13:14:29 +0000 Truth Bombs 2798846@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lawbee: had a BAB party when her daughter turned 4 and it looked awesome!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-your-child-like-a-build-a-bear-party#post-2798840 Mon, 22 Jan 2018 12:55:32 +0000 Mrsbells 2798840@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Has anyone hosted or been to a build a bear party? Are they fun for both boys and girls? LO turns 6 this year and we are starting to plan towards a party. I feel like I have been to so many jumping parties and bowling parties and I would like to do something different. She has had a jumping party for a previous birthday. I have thought about having it at home since we have a big enough back yard but its a new home and I really don't want to deal with cleaning up<br /> If you have other suggestions of good party options for a 6 year old please let me know! </p>
