Teddy bears are soft, stuffed toys that resemble bears and are often made from plush fabric. They typically have a cuddly appearance, with round faces, small ears, and limbs that can be moved. Teddy bears are popular among children and are often given as gifts for birthdays, holidays, or special occasions. They can also serve as comfort objects for young kids.
The name "Teddy Bear" comes from Theodore Roosevelt, the 26th President of the United States. The toy became popular in the early 20th century after a cartoon depicted Roosevelt sparing a bear during a hunting trip. Since then, teddy bears have become iconic symbols of childhood and comfort.
