(WFLA/WISH) — Listen up parents, for the first time in its history, Build-a-Bear is offering a Pay Your Age Day.

On Thursday July 12, all guests will be able to pay their current age in dollars. Yes, your 5-year-old will be able to pay $5. The stuffed animals are regularly priced between $6 and $75 but most sell for in the $20 to $32 range.

“It’s easy – how old you are is how much your furry friend costs,” said the message on its website.

The entire collection of furry friends is up for grabs, including the popular licensed characters such as Star Wars, Pokemon, My Little Pony, Super Mario, Paw Patrol, Marvel, Shopkins and Disney.

It’s the retailer’s biggest in-store deal EVER – and is a special offer for Bonus Club members.
