Finish your Teddy with Boska's Teddies
I don't know any person who doesn't like teddy bears (neither an adult nor a child). Do you? Most of us used to have a teddy (at least one), and our grandparents, and our children too. For many people it is the most important toy of the whole childhood.
Do you know what are the origins of the teddy? The name Teddy Bear comes from former United States President Theodore Roosevelt, whose nickname was "Teddy". The name originated from an incident on a bear-hunting trip in November 1902 when the President refused to shoot the bear. The incident inspired Russian imigrant Morris Mitchom to create a new toy – little stuffed bear that he called (after receiving the President permission) Teddy's bear. The toy was an imediate success.
At the same time in Germany, Margarete Steiff and her nephew Richard exhibited their stuffed bears at the Leipzig Toy Fair. 3000 of them were ordered to be transported to the United States.
Although Steiff and Michtom were both making their bears at around the same time, neither would have known of the other's creation due to poor transatlantic communication. And today, there is disagreement as to who created the very first bear. Some believe it was Steiff, others claim that the first teddy bear was made by Michtom.
In 2002, 25th November was established the International Day of Teddy Bear. So I guess this day would be a great opportunity to „Finish your Teddy”.
You can use one of the beautiful sets offered by Boska's Teddies, a company of teddies' enthusiasts established for other teddies' enthusiasts. By using the prepared parts and sewing them together you can make your own teddy. It's you (and/or your child) who decides what colour or design it is, is its face sad or happily smiling. With complemented accessories you can make your own version of teddy Ouchyouch, Charmer or a Sleepyhead.
You create a toy that is one of the kind. Designing teddy bear, giving its shape and bringing to life is fascinating and absorbing. It's also educative – kids learn that by the engagement and putting their heart and soul into, they can create something unique and beautiful.
However, if you feel your manual skills are not sufficient for “Finishing your Teddy”, you can choose one of the Readymades (not necessarily in classic styling) or order a teddy bear, that Boska's Teddies would finish especially for you.
