How to give the Catnap plush scent! (and other Smiling Critters)

To avoid the TLDR, here’s a simple explanation. Get a scentiment from Build-a-Bear Workshop and put it in Catnap’s zipper, get creative when applying them into other Smiling Critters.

But for those of you who want an in-depth explanation, here you go!

If you’ve been wanting to have Smiling Critters with actual scent to them, well you’re in luck! Because all you’ll need is a little thing known as Build-a-Bear Workshop Scentiments!

Scentiments are bear shaped (usually) scent chips branded by BABW and are used to give smells to plushies! There’s a wide variety of smells available, and they’re usually very strong so they should work the trick.

I’m using strawberry as an example, and it’s indeed very strong.

And all you’ll need to do to apply a scentiment to the official Catnap plush, is simply open his zipper and fit the chip inside, then zip it back up! It fits snuggly inside and the smell is very pleasant!

And there is a lavender scentiment! Perfect for Catnap! As well as a Rose scentiment for Bobby Bearhug! And remember, you can get any scent you want, there’s plenty out there so it doesn’t even have to be anything specific, you do you!

However, when it comes to applying a scent chip into the official Dogday, it doesn’t fit into his zipper. But if you can sew, then you can fit a scent chip into his ear and sew it closed! There will likely be more ways to give the other Smiling Critters scents other than their zipper, you’ll just have to get a bit crafty(corn) in order to do so!

To get Scentiments, you just have to go to your local Build-a-Bear Workshop, and browse that section, there are usually around 5 or 6 different scents available in a store. Each Scentiment is $4.50, so basically $5.

If the staff say you need to buy a bear to get a scentiment, just say you’re going to put it in one that you already have at home, that’ll work for them. You can get around 3 scentiments from one purchase.

Lavender is currently not available in store (from what I’ve seen). But if you buy a bear online, you can get lavender. Just buy it unstuffed, so the chip isn’t inside. But that’s only if you’re willing to go the extra mile.

And with all that being said, enjoy giving your Smiling Critters some lovely smells!
