American Girl Doll Build a Bear Craft

A few years ago I made the printable for the American Girl Build a Bear box. However, I never did a full craft or video to go with it! With so many new requests for this craft, I thought it was a good time to finish what I started. Many people make these doll size build a bears at birthday parties. The boxes are a perfect addition to make it a party favor so it’s easy for the guests to take home. They can also color the box before assembly!

Be sure to check out Shelly’s Doll World where she made an entire Build a Bear Workshop! We might make one in future also!

Materials Needed:

Watch and tell us your favorite animal from Build a Bear!

    I am going to print everything out as soon as we get ink. My mom doesn’t let me use a lot of ink though 🙁 I want to make all of you printable crafts but ink is expensive and my mom needs it. 🙁

    I made this, and it’s sooo cute!!! I made a white bear and i was thinking of doing a build a bear stop motion and have a stuffing machine. Can you make one? (Anyone can use this idea if they want to) I was thinking of have felt in bear shapes and boxes with pictures of the bears/animals and at the stuffing machine replace the felt with the pom pom bear. Thanks for making all of these crafts!!

    This was so cute, I immediately printed it out and made it, quite a feat for me! It was easy to do, and I also printed a tiny certificate. I have the perfect size bear which came from the $ store with a Valentine rose (chocolate) that I gave hubby. He said to use the bear for the dolls. LOL Thanks so much for the cute printable.

  18. LITTLE YUM YUM February 28, 2017 at 7:36 pm -

    Liliana I think you have the same bear as my sister! my first build a bear was when I was ten. it was a pink bear with a heart nose.

  19. Liliana February 28, 2017 at 5:56 pm -

    I love this craft. I got my first Build-a-bear when I was about eight. She is a rainbow colored one with mostly blue. I still like her on my bed when I make my bed. And I TOTALLY agree with Puppyhamster about the bible. I just got one for Christmas and my dolls need one.
    Quick question, do you only do crafts that people request on You_Tube?
    And do you have be forever doll Rebecca? If so let me know. ASAP!
