National Teddy Bear Day

September 9th is observed annually as National Teddy Bear Day. Whatever your age I’m sure we can all remember our favourite childhood companion, mine was a White Rabbit Teddy called Betsy, she’s still going strong today! Whether or not you still have your childhood teddy, today is the perfect day to celebrate your childhood friend.

In 1902 American President Theodore Roosevelt refused to shoot a bear cub while hunting in Mississippi, it made National News! There was also a cartoon published in the Washington Post on November 16th, 1902 and is an instant Classic.

The Berryman cartoon of Teddy Roosevelt and the cub inspired New York store owner Morris Michtom to create a new toy. Michtom wrote President Roosevelt to ask permission to name the new toy a “Teddy Bear”.

Teddy Bears are one of the many items that we can produce for you. The teddy bears are perfect for nurseries, playgroups, schools and clubs. They make ideal gifts for Christmas, Mother’s Day, school leavers, family and friends. The teddies are personalised with either group, individual designs or the school logo. As well as being extremely cuddly, they will carry your friendly message.

The T-shirt bear comes in two different sizes, 16cm and 26cm and the Sash Bear is 16cm.
