Teddy Bear, Teddy Bear

1 In the early 1900s, New York store-owners Morris Michtom and his wife Rose invented a new toy that would change the toy industry forever. They made a stuffed toy bear out of cloth to honor the president of the United States, Theodore “Teddy” Roosevelt. They wanted to call it Teddy’s Bear. The bear was stuffed with sawdust and had buttons sewed on for the eyes. The Michtoms sent one of the bears to President Roosevelt and asked if they could use the name Teddy for the toy. The president agreed to the request. The Michtoms put a toy bear in the store window with a sign that said Teddy’s Bear.
