Hi. My daughter is rising 4 and loves her dolls and soft toys and spends lots of time dressing and undressing them (mostly in her own clothes! Kermit is currently attired in a massively over-sized purple dungaree dress!). I think she would really like the experience of making her own bear/animal in the shop and choosing an outfit for it so was thinking of taking her and her best friend there for her 4th birthday to do just that. Does anyone know roughly how much it would cost? Obviously I'll put some boundaries in place about what they can and can't have but I'd like to be a real treat without too many "no, no, sorry, no, absolutely not, those shoes cost a fortune!" moments, if I can afford it. I can't find much info on the website about what the total cost would be and wondered if mumsnetters could advise. I could probably run to £30 per bear (so £60 total) at a pinch but much more and I'd have to give up the idea of taking her friend, which would be a shame as I think they'd really enjoy doing it together and then playing with their bears/animals afterwards. Would they be able to get something good for that price or would that only be enough for a basic model, no frills?
If it is expensive, is it worth it for the experience or are some children quite "meh" about the whole thing? Is 4 a good age for it? Like all parents I want a sure fire winner for her birthday!
Many thanks in advance.

If I let my daughter and her friend loose in Build-A-Bear Workshop, without spending every second saying no, how much would it cost me roughly?
