A teddy bear is a soft, stuffed toy designed to resemble a bear. It is typically made of plush fabric and filled with cotton, synthetic fibers, or other soft materials. Teddy bears come in various sizes, colors, and designs, often featuring round ears, button eyes, and a cute nose.Originally inspired by the bear-hunting incident involving U.S. President Theodore "Teddy" Roosevelt in 1902, the teddy bear has since become one of the most beloved childhood toys worldwide. It is often given as a gift for comfort, companionship, or special occasions like birthdays and Valentine's Day.
Soft toys are made from various fabrics that determine their texture and durability. Plush is a soft, velvety fabric commonly used for teddy bears, while fleece is warm, lightweight, and ideal for baby toys. Velboa is a short-pile, durable fabric with a smooth feel, whereas minky offers an ultra-soft, luxurious touch. Faux fur mimics real fur, giving plush toys a fluffy and realistic look. Cotton is a natural, breathable, and eco-friendly fabric, while felt is a non-woven, durable material often used for toy details. Knitted fabric provides stretch, softness, and durability, making plush toys more flexible and huggable.
