Teddy Bears







Teddy bears are quite comforting when a child gets to sleep alongside it with all peace at heart… Bears, antipodal in reality can harm humankind even if they don’t encounter real danger to their lives…Yeah, So all you should be wondering … How a bear could possibly be a cuddly little thing on your child’s playroom… Quite weird, yet with all certifiable incidents concluding to truth, you should now start fathoming what went oddly “all right” turning the wild animal into a cute cuddly toy…

Let’s start with the name… TEDDY- nickname of the United States President Theodore Roosevelt; He was called after a bear hunting encounter in Mississippi…. The state’s president invited TEDDY to come over for a shooting when his assistants caught a bear… Teddy said a big NO to shooting the bear with a sense of illegality… In the next few days, he was on papers and media; potentially with lots of politically emphasized cartoons… The cartoons had the bear and TEDDY drawn henceforth calling it the TEDDY’S BEAR… However the bear’s size shrunk to a lot more than what it was at the start of the news with more popular versions…

MORRIS MICHTOM was the man…. He took the first step to creating the teddy’s bear wherein displaying at the glass doors of his shop… So this was when the name was Okayed by the president and he kick started the toy business called Ideal Novelty & toy co… Lots of versions came out after Mitchom’s and no farther than early 1900, teddy bears became widely popular and the most sought after toy by the kids…
