How were they born?

The birth of teddy bears is a fascinating tale. They are named after the twenty-sixth president of the United States of America who is also known as Teddy Roosevelt. Theodore Roosevelt on his hunting trip to Mississippi repudiated to shoot a tied bear as a memento to the trip. During the same timeline, a political dispute over the Mississippi border was prevailing, and the cartoonist, Clifford Berryman used the expedition incident of Theodore to mock the then-political scenario over Mississippi.

This humanitarian gesture of the president was then intensified by New York’s shopkeeper who hung two small bear-looking soft toys that were stitched and sewn by his wife as a display of his shop. Now, these casually hung soft toys gained popularity and thus the shopkeeper sought the president’s official permission to name them as teddy bears. The permission was granted and ever since then, these cute little softies came to be known by this name, escalating their sales year by year. This was the first narrative related to our that took place around 1902.

Parallel to this is the second narrative related to the soft bear toys that happened in Germany around 1903. Richard Stieff designed a furry bear toy under the motivation of his sketched on the bears which he drew while his visit to the Stuttgart zoo. This was named ‘Bear 55 PB’ and was created with joined arms and legs.

Combining the two tales that coincidently overlapped the birth of our soft bear-looking playthings, the official phrase “teddy bear” made a space in the English dictionaries in the year 1906, the year when the trading and the sharing of the stories of the birth of these similar-looking furry toys began between these two teddy producing countries.

We know how possessive we have made you about this ultimate fluffy companion and hence we would give you some outstanding DIYs to keep those paws and furs ever-lastingly soft and shiny.

• Washing your teddy bear has to be done cautiously. Some can undergo the hitting and spinning by the machine barrels but many can not bear this. So, always check at the label whether or not your teddy furs can be washed in the machine or not. Even if it can be machine washed, always keep it in a mesh bag or pillow cover it rather than directly putting it into the beatings by the spins and turns. Also, be mindful of the color in which you will wrap them, it’s best to use white to get them out of the washing with their real colors. The best is to hand wash them. That sounds delicate too!
• You can vacuum clean them as well by covering the upholstery nozzle with some gauze-silk, linen, or cotton. Use the minimum suction speed to make them rid of the germs, molds, and dust mites.
• Baking soda and water is another amazing DIY for a nice and gentle teddy wash. Make sure you don’t hang them with pins clutched on their arms on the wire, they’re too heavy with the weight of water, and hanging like this can wear or tear them. Use a hairdryer or keep them out at a place when sunrays and shade both come, this will take a day and a half for them to dry but that maintains their furs the best.
• If your boo bear furs are undergoing an odor problem then use cornstarch powder and baking soda. Dip your teddy in a bucket full of water and add these to it. Shake it for an even soaking in its furs. Take it out and put it aside for 4-6 hours. Let the above two ingredients settle deep inside its fur to fight the bad odor. Once the teddy is dried, use a soft brush to radiate it back to its normal self.
