Build-a-Bear turns the iconic Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles group into miniature cuddly bears this week to celebrate the classic Nickelodeon cartoon show.
The Build-a-Bear workshop is known for offering children the chance to custom-build their very own stuffed animals. In honor of the latest live action Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles film, Build-a-Bear teamed up with Nickelodeon to offer youngsters the chance to build their very own crime-fighting turtle toy. Children can begin by purchasing the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle doll for $25. From there, children can build up their masked turtle toy by adding a plush weapon, turtle shell and other vigilante accessories. These Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle Build-a-Bears are a great way to let children customize the look of their very own toy animals. The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle collection is set to drop in stores this Friday.
