The Story of Monster Mixters

No one knows for sure how Monster Mixters got here. Legend has it, they came from (NAME OF IMAGINARY PLACE), a land far, far away and arrived at Build-A-Bear Workshop in pieces, waiting for monster fans to pick their parts and assemble (ADJECTIVE) Monster Mixters.

They begin with a rainbow or blue monster body, and their maker's creativity takes care of the rest! With all the imaginative possibilities, makers can Xpress their inner monster and assemble an original (ADJECTIVE) friend with cool (NAME OF BODY PART), (COLOR) arms, and a(n) (ADJECTIVE) body. They're the perfect companions for (VERB ENDING IN -ING) or even (VERB ENDING IN -ING).

The verdict is still out on what Monster Mixters like to eat, whether it's (NAME OF FOOD) or (NAME OF FOOD), but we're sure Build-A-Bear Workshop guests will find out when they take their Monster Mixters home to play (NAME OF GAME).

These customizable creatures are only available at Build-A-Bear Workshop, and monster-makers can share photos of their Monster Mixters creations with hashtag #MonsterMixers on (NAME OF SOCIAL MEDIA PLATFORM).
