About Teddy Bears

Named for United States President, Teddy Roosevelt, Teddy Bears have long been a favorite plaything of children everywhere. Made in the likeness of a smaller, cuddlier version of the woodland creatures, Teddy Bears have a reputation as a comforting, protective presence for children to snuggle with at bedtime and beyond. In addition to being a fun plaything to spark the imagination of kids, Teddy Bears are also a highly prized collector item with such manufacturers as Steiff, Vermont Teddy Bear Company, and others commanding mega-bucks in the collectors market.

Dressing up as a Teddy Bear

With a staggering amount of options, dress up as your favorite type of bear for an un-bear-ably cute Halloween costume! An old '80s favorite that's popular again, the cute, colorful, and cuddly Care Bears have made a comeback. With costumes made of brightly colored plush containing a padded, faux fur jumpsuit with each bear's distictive marking on its tummy, the Care Bear costumes also come with a plush character hood with attached furry ears.

For a different spin on the Teddy Bear costume, catch the Olympic spirit and dress as one of Beijing's totem animals, the panda bear with a faux-fur mascot-style costume.
