October is Stop Cyber Bullying Month. At Build-A-Bear Workshop we want to do everything we can to ensure all children are safe, whether it’s at home with their furry friends or when playing online.

It doesn’t take any extra energy, other than your own elbow grease and creativity, to create something new from something that’s already been used.
