Build-A-Bear Workshop - Clothing and Accessories for the Stuffed Animals

Heather Carr

For a lot of the kids, this is the best part. Each store has a huge selection of clothing and accessories that fit nearly all the animals. The party leader will tell your group if any animals have limitations on their clothing. At this party, the seal was unable to wear pants, shorts, or undies (no legs), or shoes (no feet). All the dresses fit the seal fine, though. The bears, dogs, cats, and most other animals can wear all the clothes and accessories.

The clothes come in matched sets of tops and bottoms hanging on the walls or as separates in the bins along the bottom which can be mixed and matched. Freestanding displays have themes, such as summer sports or princess gear. Accessories include shoes, purses, cell phones (and cell phone skins and cases), hats, gloves, jewelry, sports equipment, pets (yes, pets for the animals) and pet toys, and much, much more.
