Smiling instead of hiding on "Tower of Terror"

Abby's first "Build-A-Bear" 

(Downtown Disney)

for her, "Build-a-Penguin"

First, pick an animal body...

Second, pick a sound.  She chose "giggles."

Third, the stuffing machine fills the body.


Fourth step, put in the heart.

Fifth step, sewn up.
Sixth step, air bath for fluffing up.

Step seven, accessorize.  Abby loved this step.

Lastly, print a birth certificate & name your stuffed animal.

Mom: Abby, were you good at school today?

Abby: Yup.  I even got to clean the paintbrushes!  Oops.  I mean.. I didn't paint anything for you.  Just forget I said anything.  I didn't tell you about the heart ornament we made for our families!
