The 'teddy bear' got its name in 1902 when the president of the United States of America Theodore Roosevelt refused to shoot a cub during a hunting trip. This news spread across the country, and toy bears became widely made and sold across America, called 'Teddy Bears,' after the president, and they've been our worldwide favourite stuffed toy ever since.
Choosing their teddy bear's name lets your child use their imagination, and connect more deeply with their teddy bear.
