A
A cartoonist working for a major newspaper heard about what happened and did a cartoon about it. The
owner of a shop in New York saw the cartoon and decided to make a stuffed toy bear, which he later
put in his shop window. The new toy was immediately popular, and the name ‘Teddy’ became popular.

B
Strangely, at the same time the teddy bear was also invented in Europe by people who almost certainly
didn’t know about the Roosevelt story. A small business in Germany run by a woman called Margarete
Steiff had been producing stuffed toy animals such as dogs, cats and elephants for about twenty years.
One day, her nephew Richard suggested that the company start making bears as well. The new toy was
first produced in 1902. The first bears produced by the Steiff Company had long snouts, just like real
bears, while ‘Teddy’s Bear’ in New York had a more rounded head.

C
Just over a hundred years after it was invented, the teddy bear is possibly still the world’s most popular
toy for small children. No doubt many people reading this will remember having a teddy bear when
they were very small – in fact some have probably kept that bear. It isn’t only children who acquire
teddy bears, of course; they are also a popular present on St Valentine’s Day.

D
The most common story about the invention of the teddy bear involves Theodore Roosevelt, who was
president of the United States in the early years of the twentieth century and whose nickname was
‘Teddy’. In 1902, the President was on a bear hunting trip when the other hunters asked if he wanted to
shoot a bear that they had tied to a tree. As he didn’t think this was proper hunting, he refused.
