Teddy Bears- A Child’s Favourite Toy

What is any child’s favourite toy? Teddy bears! Which child would say no to one? Even most adults won’t say no if they had the chance. Teddy bears provide comfort and a sense of security. To most children, they are the perfect playmates and even their friends who can talk to them at night. You can tuck them in bed with their favourite teddy bear and they sure will be safe all night. To children, teddy bears are their constant companions whom they must carry around everywhere they go.

Teddy bears are cute, cuddly and just plain adorable! Children feel they have someone no matter what. Children would always feel safe and comforted hugging their teddy bears on a rainy night, the night when the rain won’t stop pouring and the lightning and thunder keep getting worse. Their teddy bear makes them feel happy and secured with its warmth and soft fur.

Till today when we use the term �as cuddly as a teddy bear’. Teddy bears are very popular even with grown up girls, simple because of the warmth and safety they provide. They are the shoulder we want to cry on, they don’t judge and they give awesome hugs! Children, however, live in their little world and their unsung heroes are their teddy bears. Their teddy bears are soft snugly friends who are never going to leave them, who would listen to all they have to say and who are just there no matter what.

Children feel safe carrying their teddy bears to new places or when going to meet their doctor where they feel they can draw strength from their friend. Children just love to bury their faces into the softness of their favourite teddy bear and go to sleep feeling the world is a truly happy place. Children like to dress up their teddy bears, and this gives them an inexplicable joy that nothing else does. During Christmas teddy bears are dressed up as Santa or one of Santa’s little elves, during Halloween they’re all spruced up in something spooky and the list just goes on!

They become just like members of the family with them taking part in every major holiday. They become permanent friends to the children who are a part of their everyday lives. Often, when children grow up, they still keep their favourite teddy bears and display them on the nightstand or their favourite couch where they can still cuddle the large bear when they need comfort.

These teddy bears come in a large variety of shapes and sizes so that there always is one which will fit your lap perfectly, are large enough to cuddle or be small enough to carry in the school bag. Children love to have their quaint tea parties where their teddy bears and other dolls come all dressed up. This is their way to emulate the grown up world and socialise using their toys. Maybe the neighbours children join them as well and through their teddy bears, children make other friends and find new soul mates. Each child has a teddy bear that holds a special place in their heart.
