Build-A-Bear's Make-Your-Own PEEPS collection was inspired by a classic Easter marshmallow treat and it shares customizable, limited-edition bunny plush toys. The all-new PEEPS Party Cake Bunny has a vanilla color, sparkly accents and pastel sprinkles that share the spirit of spring, and this plush is ready to be dressed up.
These plushies can be enhanced with a marshmallow scent and customized with special accessories like reversible bandanas, gift bows and little Chick wristies. With Build-A-Bear's heart ceremony, guests of all ages have the chance to record their voice to create a companion that doubles as a meaningful keepsake for themselves or a loved one.
This collection is only sticking around for a short while this spring, and the Make-Your-Own PEEPS stand out from mass-produced toys by adding a personal touch.
