Today is National Teddy Bear Day!
On September 9th, National Teddy Bear Day honors one of childhood’s favorite toys. Did you have a special cuddly teddy bear as a child? Some of you loved them so much that you started collecting more and more until you had a huge collection of them. But no matter what kind of teddy bear you had, today is the day to celebrate your childhood friend!
How did the teddy bear get its name?
‘Thought to have been created in the early 20th century, this iconic toy owes its name to American President Theodore Roosevelt, who was lovingly called Teddy by his family and friends.
The story of why the toy came to be named after him dates back to a hunting trip in 1902 when Roosevelt refused to shoot an injured bear. Rumor has it that in response, Morris Michtom, a candy store owner in New York displayed two stuffed bears made by his wife in his display window and called them Teddy's bear.’ (Source)
How to Celebrate?
• If you have toys from your childhood stored away in the attic or the garage, today is the day to take out all your teddy bears and show them some love. If you are looking to make space, why not take them to a local charity shop where they can be cleaned and given to children who need them?
• If you have children in your life, surprise them with their own teddy bear to cuddle with.
• Watch TV shows and movies that feature a teddy bear.
• Learn about the habitat and life of bears.
If you enjoy reading my stories here are a couple that I created for our Kimmy.
When I created the story, Kimmy and the bears, I wasn’t aware that we had some Teddy Bear collectors here in the community. They posted pictures of their collections and I created a video for them. You can view it here.
If we have more teddy bear collectors here please share your collection with us. If you don't collect them, share a memory if you had a teddy bear as a child. Or you can post animated gifs of teddy bears too. Let's just celebrate those cute cuddly bears!

Thanks for tagging me @Spinnifix
@Elsa in my home there are vile teddy bears (and also other plush toys). The picture is from my "playroom". It was my daughter's nursery and is now a playroom for my king games and my granddaughter's playroom when she's visiting.
Of course, everyone gets an extra hug today. 🤗
