Welcome to the Build-A-Bear Wiki!

---

The Build-A-Bear Wiki is a fanmade resource aiming to catalogue every single furry friend release from 1997 to present! Here you'll find our (in progress) documentation of all Build-A-Bear plush toys ever released, as well as important information to help identify furry friends like release dates, collections, bundles, SKUs and more! You will also find important resources and discussions to help further documentation of all furry friends 🐾

Reminder: This Wiki is an early-stage work in progress with a small team of volunteers. There may be links that do not lead anywhere, placeholder images or text, or pages that need updating or more detail - we are aware of these and will wrangle them all as soon as we can. Thank you BEARY much for understanding!

  Featured furry friend

The Catherine Cares Heartbeat Bear was designed by Wayne and Lauren Turley in honor of their daughter, Catherine. This white and purple cub-type bear is specially designed with a pocket in one side to make it easy to add a voice box to at home, so that parents can record their unborn or newborn child's heartbeat after a life-threatening diagnosis and preserve it in the bear. It is a corbearate exclusive and can only be purchased from the Catherine Cares website.
