Teddy Bears

The reason why I choose to focus on teddy bears for my online exhibit is because almost everyone has had a teddy bear as a special stuffed animal when they were children. My purpose here is to explore the cultural significance of teddy bears in American social life.

Teddy bears are among the most popular children's' toys ever produced, but they haven't been around forever. See how they got started.

Although teddy bears are small and lovable they possess a huge cultural significance.
