teddy bears

Teddy bears are soft, plush toys designed to resemble bears, often given as comfort objects or gifts. Made from materials like fabric and stuffing, they typically feature embroidered or plastic eyes, a nose, and sometimes a mouth. Originating in the early 20th century, they encourage nurturing, companionship, and emotional comfort, especially for children. Teddy bears are also collectible items and cultural icons, representing warmth, friendship, and security. Their simple, huggable design makes them popular across various ages and backgrounds, serving both as toys and symbols of affection.
