The World Of The Stuffed Bear
by Kathryn Neal
The stuffed bear has been a hallmark of children the world over. It is hard to imagine a world without them. They can be found in most countries and in countless households. The story is that while on a hunting trip Theodore Roosevelt in Mississippi a black bear was caught and tied to a tree.
When he arrived on the scene, his friends tried to set it up for him to shoot it. The president saw the situation and would not shoot it because it was trapped. He felt that it was not fair. The next day, a businessman heard about it and thought is should be displayed with some bears made by hand.
By creating a cartoon and posting it, he thought it might be a good idea to use the first name of the president. Teddy Roosevelt agreed and the first teddy bear was born in this country. In Germany, a company came up with the idea creating a jointed one and made it available for purchase.
The name of this company was Steiff. This bear that they created was stuffed on the inside, and a businessman from America learned about it and brought some home. The one that the company produces had joints. These two stories about the beginning of this item hold up as being the most credible.
The stories behind owning one of these items are numerous. Children and adults can remember the great times and the great memories they have had with one. They have been made from all kinds of materials, and they come is an assortment of colors, textures, and sizes.
The question remains, what is the draw that keeps people coming back for more. Aside, from the memories, the handling of these toys, massaging, and rubbing the fur may also have some therapeutic value. This particular action releases a sense of well being and peacefulness.
The love affair people have with them is seen in how many are sold annually. An entire industry has been built around them. They are usually made to simulate the real bear. However, they can have unique features. Some are even built around cartoon characters.
Pillows, beanbags, blankets, and other things are made from them. They can have joints, or they can be made out of one piece. Fur is the main material that is used to make them, although cotton, silk is a suitable material. They even have knitted and crocheted bears in beautiful colors. The sizes also vary. They can range from very small bears all the way up to life sized one.
Clothing is another feature that is used on them. Companies have developed wardrobes that include sleepwear, outerwear, and even rain wear. People spend enormous amounts of money dressing them. Children spend countless hours playing and cuddling them. Another great pastime is to collect them.
