We were invited to the Peter Rabbit press junket. All opinions are 100% my own.
Peter Rabbit is at Build-A-Bear and he is beyond cute! While we covered the Peter Rabbit press junket in Los Angeles last week, we discovered two things that had our hearts full. Of course, the movie itself manages that. But additionally, I was touched by the #BlueJacket initiative and was all smiles during and after our beautiful Build-A-Bear experience. Yes, we got to choose, build and dress our very own Peter Rabbit! It was fantastic, and now my son is very serious about my Peter Rabbit “grandson”.
Visiting Build-A-Bear
I confess I had never gone to Build-A-Bear with my son. We were seriously missing out. It is a very special experience that teaches kids a lot. If you have curious one like mine, it is great to find out how stuffed animal toys are put together. It also fosters creativity, love, and empathy. Plus it is hands down tons of fun. When you get to Build-A-Bear you get to choose the furry friend you want. Then you help bring it to life by stuffing it, dressing it and registering it. This last step really amplified it all for my munchkin and gave him a huge sense of accomplishment and responsibility.
Peter Rabbit Is At Build-A-Bear!
Peter Rabbit Build-A-Bear style is absolutely lovable and cuddly. The first thing we did was give a voice to our Peter RAbbit inserting a small device pre-recorded with 5 different Peter Rabbit phrases straight out of the movie, like “Has anyone seen Mr. McGregor?”. Next, we stuffed Peter Rabbit and gave him his heart with a sweet verse to do it:
Finally, it was off to dressing him. You can pick from his signature Blue Jacket of some very cute PJs. This Peter Rabbit is very soft and snuggly!

So much fun!!! I have to get these for my nephews for Easter!! They will LOVE them!!!
Looks so much fun, I hope to get this for my daughter soon
What a lovely post! I have never been to build a bear but I’ve read a lot about their concept and it seems to be absolutely wonderful and teaching. 🙂 I’m happy you and your son had some amazing time building that cute rabbit together.
I’d never heard of Build-A-Bear before but it turns out that they actually do have stores here in the UK. Love the idea and seeing an author from my childhood – Beatrix Potter still being relevant is brilliant.
Positively adorable! My nephew goes crazy for stuffed animals. I might have to bring him to build-a-bear this Easter! Thank you for spreading the word!
I love Build-a-Bear but haven’t been in forever! If I made a Peter Rabbit I would choose the PJs for his outfit . . they are so adorable!
Oh wow, it would be nice to make my own Peter Rabbit! Love that you can customize and build your own! It’s a movie to look forward to with the family and I’m sure there’s also plenty of lessons to learn.
My daughter and I are looking forward to seeing the movie. But i really wonder what she would think of the build a bear Peter Rabbit. I know we have done characters in the past. She would probably love it.
Wow, Awesome , I have never been to build a bear, but I would love to so much go there with my son, who is pretty curious about everything. Furry friend, Peter rabbit looks so full of life here, sure there are many things to learn for kids.
I haven’t heard of Peter Rabbit, I’ll have to look for its availability here in Oz. It’s wonderful that you can create your own rabbit makes it so much more personal.
This sounds amazing. My kids would love to dress their own Peter Rabbit. What a lovely opportunity.
Oh my gosh – How wonderful experience. I would love to do this activity- I love Peter Rabbit – the lake district peter rabbit is worth a visit, as the tea rooms are lovely x
This is truly an amazing way to spend time with the little ones, I have never been to build a bear before but I will surely check out if we have any in Canada
