Teddy Bear Day

When : September 9th

Today is Teddy Bear Day. A Teddy Bear is a special friend to children all over the world. He's cuddly. He makes you feel secure in an otherwise insecure world. He's lovable. Your Teddy Bear is both a companion and a comforter. And, he's not afraid of the dark. He'll keep you safe.

Spend the day and night with your teddy bear . Cuddle up to him. Talk to him. And, do all of your favorite things together.

Parents and adults: No child should grow up without a teddy bear. If you know of any kid without one, use this day to buy a teddy bear for them.

As we become adults, some find it difficult to give up our teddy bears. We feel there is no reason to give him up. Some adults have their teddy bears around all their lives. Its perfectly normal....and okay.

Have a happy Teddy Bear Day!

During the early 1900s, President Theodore Roosevelt was in office as President of the United States. He was a hunter. While hunting in Mississippi in 1902, he refused to shoot a small bear. The Washington Post picked up on this story, and made a cartoon of the event. Toy store owners, Morris and Rose Michtom, wrote to President Roosevelt for permission to call their stuffed animals "Teddy Bears". Teddy bears became wildly popular. Their company went on to become the Ideal Toy Company, one of the largest toy companies in the world.

We found no factual information about this special day. There is an occasional reference to Teddy Bear Day on February 22.

A Vermont Teddy Bear company has declared their own "National" Teddy Bear Day on November 13th. We believe this is for promotion of their products. We did not find information to support this as a National day. Zoos, museums, toy store and many kids venues declare "teddy Bear" days for various reason.

We believe teddy bears are very important to children (young and old) He deserves a day of recognition.
