A friend in the form of a Teddy bear is one of the most comforting things for a child. National American Teddy Bear Day highlights the importance of these sweet animals and expresses appreciation for the iconic status that the Teddy bear is in American culture.

In the early 1900s, teddy bears were given their first name. According to legend, President Theodore Roosevelt was on a Mississippi hunting trip in 1902 when he saw a bear cub that his hunting buddies had caught. The president was said to be kind to animals because he felt it was unsportsmanlike for him to kill the bear cub. Many political cartoons were made and Teddy’s nickname was given to bears.

The history of Teddy bears is a little murky. Some people attribute it to Margarete Steiff, a woman who created a Teddy bear for her nephew after she visited a zoo.

Morris Michtom was responsible for the marketing strategy that led to the creation of stuffed Teddy bears. A Brooklyn shop owner saw a cartoon of the president, and thought it would be fun for the bears to be sold in his shop as “Teddy bears.” He got permission from President Obama and the bears started selling like wildfire.
