For those on the hunt for Easter gifts to complete their basket, several new 16-inch bunny furry friends are available in stores and online at buildabear.com, as well as colorful coordinating outfits, accessories and pre-stuffed gift sets.

For the perfect (sugar-free) spring treat, Guests can now make their own Dylan's Candy Bar® Bear in Build-A-Bear Workshop stores and at buildabear.com—and add colorful Dylan's Candy Bar outfits and fun accessories, such as a Dylan's Candy Bar Pajama Set or Dylan's Candy Bar Whirly Pop^® Wristie!
