One of my boys has a ragged &#8220;Teddy&#8221; that has been with him for years. It&#8217;s a little flat, a little worn and still provides comfort and love. Plus, he makes an excellent travel companion! Teddy has been on at least 6 flights!<\/p>\n<p>September 9 is National Teddy Bear Day and Build-a-Bear is celebrating with special $5.00 (Canadian) bears that you can make. Not only are these bears adorable but they support Big Brothers and Big Sisters too.\u00a0In the spirit of Build-A-<span class=\"il\">Bear<\/span>\u2019s mission to \u201cadd a little more heart to life,\u201d for every $5 <span class=\"il\">bear<\/span> purchased on Sept. 9, Build-A-<span class=\"il\">Bear<\/span> will donate a furry friend to Boys and Girls Clubs of Canada in Canada. How perfect is that? Your little one (or not so little) will create a bear for only $5 and another child will receive a bear that might not otherwise be able to have one. It&#8217;s a win-win! Plus, these bears are adorable!<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-14239\" src=\"https:\/\/familyfoodandtravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/NTBDCubs.jpg\" alt=\"National Teddy Bear Day\" width=\"900\" height=\"880\" srcset=\"https:\/\/familyfoodandtravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/NTBDCubs.jpg 900w, https:\/\/familyfoodandtravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/NTBDCubs-300x293.jpg 300w, https:\/\/familyfoodandtravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/NTBDCubs-768x751.jpg 768w, https:\/\/familyfoodandtravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/NTBDCubs-600x587.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>How can you join in the fun? \u00a0Share a favorite <span class=\"il\">teddy<\/span> <span class=\"il\">bear<\/span> or Build-A-<span class=\"il\">Bear<\/span> Workshop memory with hashtag #NationalTeddyBearDay and @BuildABear on social media.
