Bring your Teddy Bear to work day celebrates the origins of the Teddy and all that you love about your bears.

The History of the Teddy bear.

A teddy bear is a soft toy in the form of a bear. Developed in the 20^th century by toymakers Morris Michtom and Richard Steiff, named after US President Theodore “Teddy” Roosevelt, and is now an iconic children’s toy.

The name teddy bear, according to popular legend is based on an incident between President Roosevelt and a bear hunting trip in 1902. Roosevelt was the last hunter from the exhibition, who had yet to shoot a bear. His attendants hunted down a bear, cornered it and clubbed it into submission. The bear was then tied to a tree for the President to shoot. Roosevelt refused to shoot the bear, on the grounds that it was entirely unsportsmanlike, and it took no time at all for cartoons and stuffed bears to emerge called “Teddy Bears”.

Bring your bear to work day is your reminder that your childhood companion never abandoned you, and they deserve t not be abandoned by you.

Here at the Boxed-Up factory we have a great array of bears, helping us through our work day today! Our office has been full of sharing stories and memories of beloved childhood companions. Let us introduce you to our team of bears;
