The Build-A-Bear Workshop Gift Card turns a gift into an experience. Build-A-Bear is the make-your-own stuffed animal store where kids choose a furry friend, stuff it, and dress it up, all as part of the fun.
That is what makes it such a memorable present. Instead of a single toy picked out in advance, the recipient gets to build exactly the friend they want, in store or online, along with the outfits and accessories to go with it.
How to redeem your Build-A-Bear Workshop gift card
Redeeming is simple. Visit a Build-A-Bear Workshop and hand the card to the cashier, or shop at buildabear.com and enter the card number and PIN at checkout. You can use the full balance at once or across several visits, and if the total is higher than the card, you just pay the difference.
How to check your Build-A-Bear Workshop gift card balance
You can check your balance on buildabear.com or by asking a store associate at any Build-A-Bear Workshop location.
Where you can use it
The card is used both in Build-A-Bear Workshop stores, where the make-your-own experience happens, and online at buildabear.com for furry friends, clothing, and accessories. The in-store visit is the highlight, but the online shop is there for gifts and add-ons too.
What you can buy with it
A Build-A-Bear card covers the friend and everything for it. It can go toward:
- A make-your-own furry friend in store
- Bears, bunnies, and licensed character animals
- Outfits, shoes, and accessories
- Sound and scent add-ins for the stuffing
- Online furry friends and gift sets at buildabear.com
- Seasonal and collectible editions

| Disney Store | Character toys, plush, and apparel | Disney stores and shopDisney.com |
| Toys R Us | A broad range of toys and games | Toys R Us shops and online |
