Build-A-Bear for your Wii – A Giveaway | Not Just 9 to 5

Build-A-Bear for your Wii – A Giveaway

November 30, 2008


My oldest LOVES Build-A-Bear. She has more bears from there than she knows what to do with. We were not able to try out this game, but I know that my daughter would love it and it may just make it under the Christmas tree this year for her.

However, one of my lucky readers will get to win this game courtesy of the Game Factory. Here’s a little bit about the game:


“An interactive family-friendly experience, Build-A-Bear Workshop® A Friend Fur All Seasons allows families to share the interactive Build-A-Bear Workshop® experience using the Nintendo Wii system. Originally made for Nintendo DS, Build-A-Bear Workshop® entertainment experience allows up to four players to name, groom, feed and dress their bear using the revolutionary Wii remote. The game allows players to join their customized bear on adventures to explore islands, meet inhabitants and help furry friends.”

The game is available now pretty much wherever games are sold. They would make a great Christmas gift this year!!

There is also an auction auctioning off celebrity-built Build-A-Bear Workshop bears, along with autographed copies of the Build-A-Bear Wii game. These bears and signed games will be on eBay’s Giving Works to raise money for the Ronald McDonald House Charities of Southern California. These one-of-a-kind bears were built by celebrities like Tori Spelling & Dean McDermott, the Jonas Brothers, James Gandolfini, Melissa Joan Hart, Bonnie Hunt, Mitchel Musso, Meaghan Jette Martin and more. Check this out HERE!!

Here’s how to win YOUR copy of this game:

1. Tell me in the comments below if you had a favorite stuffed animal as a kit.

2. The contest will run through Thursday, December 3rd at 11:59 Central Time. The winner will be chosen by random.org. They will be contacted through email and listed on this post. U.S. and Canada entries only please.

3. Please leave a valid email address or other way to contact you. If the winner hasn’t responded within 3 days, another winner will be chosen at random.

4. If you’d like a couple extra entries you can either:

  • Subscribe to my RSS feed or subscribe via e-mail – leave me a separate comment to let me know.
  • Mention this contest on your blog with a link back to this post, and leave a separate comment with the link to your post so I can find it.
Thanks and good luck!!!

What a fun idea for a game! So far, we’ve managed to keep Abby far away from Build-a-Bear. I know she’d love to make one, but she’s just not that into stuffed animals. My favorite was a Muncheechee (sp?). The ugly little monkey with the thumbs you can stick in his mouth. I also had a Raggedy Ann and Andy set that were made by my great-grandmother.

I remember a big brown dog that I carried around as a child. I also remember his neck splitting open and his ’stuffing’ coming out. I was very sad that day.

I had a stuffed snoopy doll that used to be my moms when she was a kid. It was old THEN. It was in pretty bad shape though – no eyes, no mouth. I actually just came across it in a box recently. I keep it on my night stand. The kids have stole it a few times though. LOL

It is over 30 years old. It now sits by my table next to my bed. I will probably give it to my first born grandchild.
