Why the Teddy Bear Still Matters
A brief history, emotional legacy, and how this soft companion has stood the test of time.
From Rough Riders to Royal Nurseries
The teddy bear was born in 1902, inspired by President Theodore Roosevelt’s famous act of compassion during a bear hunt. Originally made with mohair and wood wool stuffing, early bears were handcrafted collectibles meant to last generations
Materials That Grew Softer with Time
Teddy bears started with stiff materials like mohair and excelsior, but today they’re made with ultra-soft polyester, plush fibers, and hypoallergenic stuffing, making them cuddlier, safer, and perfect for all ages.
Why We Reach for the Bear
Teddy bears offer more than softness, they offer security, nostalgia, and unconditional comfort. They’re often a child’s first friend, a calming presence during anxiety, and a treasured token of love that bridges generations.
Still Going Strong Over 100 Years Later
What started as a political anecdote turned into a cultural icon. The teddy bear continues to thrive because it represents something universal: the need to feel safe, loved, and connected, no batteries required.
