All together Build-A-Bear workshops
EXCITING NEWS – Little Troopers x Build-A-Bear Workshop is back!
Little Troopers has announced that once again they have partnered with Build-A-Bear Workshop to bring a very special experience to military children across the UK this summer!
? Is your little trooper missing a deployed parent?
If your child has a parent currently deployed, you can apply to attend one of our exclusive group workshops happening nationwide. Each child will have the magical opportunity to create their very own ‘Little Troopers’ bear at Build-A-Bear — a treasured keepsake to hold close while their parent is away.
? A nationwide shared moment
On the same day and at the same time, children in multiple Build-A-Bear locations will come together for this special summer event — a moment of connection and comfort for our military families.
Let’s make this summer one to remember for our Little Troopers.
