Build Your Bear Experience
Build Your Bear Experience at Bear Essentials
Don’t I just like to write this blog post to clarify a couple of questions our customers have asked us. You might think that Bear Essentials Build Your Bear Experience is the same than the Build-A-Bear Workshops you will find in larger cities in Ireland, in fact in UK, Germany, all over the USA. Some customers like to refer to us as the Bear Factory. Bear Essentials doesn’t associates themselves with a bear factory. Yes we do produce our own teddy bears, but these are one off limited edition Irish made teddy bears for rather special occasions. We also produce Irish made baby bear gifts but again not in a factory style production, but in a small, Irish cottage style scale, made with caring hands for quality, comfort and memories. The same applies to our Build Your Bear Experience and yes that’s what it is “An Experience”. Where else can you sit together with your family looking into a beautiful garden with lots of singing birds and work together on your teddy bear. Yes, you do work or better create your bear. We do give you the shell, the design but you do all the handcraft as in stuffing and sewing to build your bear. What this means is spending time together with loved ones and friends in a very peaceful environment. Being encouraged to be creative and learning new skills that’s what makes this Build Your Bear experience different. A little bit of magic in our busy world to help you on your way to create more memories with your new bear companion.
That’s why we are different than a bear factory. But this also means you just cant walk in and build your bear with us. While you free to visit our Teddy Bear Gift Shop or have a look into our Silver Bear Centre any activity has to be booked in advance. You can either book into an event or book a Build Your Bear Experience as a family, as a birthday or hen party or as a corporate event for a bonding or a problem solving purpose.
