What is the difference between a teddy bear and a plushie? ›

Typically, stuffed animals consist of durable synthetic fibers such as polyester or acrylic, which can hold their shape well. Stuffed animals also have plastic features attached to them to make their eyes and noses. Conversely, plushies have softer fibers like cotton, making them squishy and huggable.

The age they are turning is how much our special Birthday Treat Bear costs during their birthday month!

The limited-time promotion is an extension of the brand's well-known "Pay Your Age" offer, where children look forward to taking home a Birthday Treat Bear during their birthday month for the cost of the age they are turning.

While they won't be able to choose just any bear, they'll be able to enjoy the experience during their most special month for less. The Birthday Treat Bear is different each year, so if you've gone before it should be different the next year.

The owners of Squishmallows, the popular egg-shaped stuffed animals, filed an intellectual property lawsuit against Build-A-Bear on Monday, claiming its new “Skoosherz” line is a knock-off version of its own.

Kelly Toys filed its lawsuit in California, while Build-A-Bear filed one in Missouri. In the first lawsuit, Kelly Toys lawyers outline the Squishmallows timeline: They were released in 2016 with distinctive designs — they're oval, usually animals, and have cute faces. Most importantly, they're very soft and squishable.

A Squishmallow is essentially a hybrid of a pillow and a stuffed animal. These oval-shaped, plush toys come in all different characters and sizes, ranging from a couple of inches to 2 feet tall.
