Build-A-Bear!

Today our Daisy troop headed over to the mall and went to Build-a-Bear!
 
We decided to meet to kick off the summer and make a troop bear that we can all help build and donate to a children's hospital.  The girls got to first decide which bear to get.
 
After we decided on the white bear, it was time for every girl to get a heart and bless it to put in the bear.  
Then all the girls got to put their hearts into the bear.
 

 
Then it was time for each girl to step on the petal to help stuff the bear.
 
After that, every girl got a chance give the bear a bath and make sure it was all clean.
 
Then, because the store sells Girl Scout outfits for  the bears, we had to decide on an outfit.  
 
We decided on simple. We went with the Daisy Girl Scout vest.  We can add patches on to it later.
 
Then we got to sit at the computer and make a birth certificate and give our bear a name.
 
I think they were excited about sitting on the springy stools though too.
 
So we decided on the name "Daisy" for our troop bear. That's fitting.
 
We can't wait to give our bear to another little girl in hopes in will bring her as much joy as we had in making it.
 
After we made our troop bear, all of the girls went and made their own bears.  Now I had never been there before so I was pretty excited.  Gracie choose the Thin Mint Bear which is a Girl Scout bear.
 
She had fun stuffing her bear.
 
And bathing it too.
 
Of course we had to get the Sleeping Beauty dress for her bear but we also got the Daisy Girl Scout vest too.
 
What a beary good time we had!
