Is it true you pay your age at Build-A-Bear? ›

How Build-A-Bear Pay Your Age works. On your child's birthday month, bring them to Build-A-Bear to make a Birthday Treat Bear for the same price as their age. For example if your child is turning 4 that month, the Birthday Treat Bear will cost $4.

Any time during the month of your child's birthday, you can head to your local Build-A-Bear for deal on the brown Birthday Treat Bear, which is regularly $14. The workshop will “count your candles” to determine the price of the Birthday Treat Bear — so if your child is turning 7, the bear will cost $7.

Build-A-Bear's “pay your age” promotion (officially called Count Your Candles) is exactly what the name implies. The cost of the bear is the age your child is turning. For instance, if your child is turning 5 years old, you would pay $5 for the birthday bear. It's available in stores only, not online.

It's true that our furry friends appeal to kids of all ages. But please note that our stuffed animals are appropriate for kids ages 2 and up. Our clothing and accessories are appropriate for children ages 3 and up. You may check our product packaging as a guide for product safety and age-play appropriateness.

Build-A-Bear claims it has sold pre-made stuffed animals on its site and on Amazon. It claims Skoosherz designs match its original stuffed animals, such as the Strawberry Cow and Spring Green Frog. It claims the Build-A-Bear logo is also clearly displayed on the stuffed toys.

Regularly $14. No coupon necessary. Birthday child must be present to receive discount.

IN STORES ONLY: With our in-store Pay Your Age offer, the age they're turning is how much their Birthday Treat Bear costs! Bring the birthday boy or girl into the Workshop to count their candles any day during their birthday month, and how old they are is how much it costs to make this Birthday Treat Bear in stores.

While they won't be able to choose just any bear, they'll be able to enjoy the experience during their most special month for less. The Birthday Treat Bear is different each year, so if you've gone before it should be different the next year.

We realise some family don't have access to their family members clothing when they've passed, so we've created a beautiful soft bear with a pocket sewn into the back where you can place a special keepsake. There's also enough room for you to place their ashes in a special heart shaped container.

Bear Species

Although most of them are omnivorous, their diets are mostly vegetarian. In the wild, bears can live up to 25 years of age, though older bears have been documented. Most bears however don't reach old age because of human activity like hunting and habitat encroachment.
