In 1902, President Teddy Roosevelt went on a hunting trip in Mississippi, and refused to shoot a bear. That trip made the national headlines, and The Washington Post ran an editorial cartoon showing the President standing near a little bear cub.

Morris Michtom, an energetic entrepreneur in Brooklyn, saw the cartoon and set about making a stuffed bear. He placed it in his store window with a sign that named it "Teddy's Bear."

And that's how the teddy bear craze was born -- a craze that has lasted for more than a century. Between Michtom's efforts and the designs of German inventor Richard Steiff, the "teddy bear" became something that no one could live without.

The teddy bear is a baby's first gift, a child's most trusted friend, and one of the most cherished items that a college kid takes from home to cozy up their dorm room. It's one of the few pieces from childhood that we'll keep for decades, and treasured as a family heirloom. And perhaps most important:
It doesn't matter how old we are. Seeing a little stuffed bear always makes us feel young at heart.

This Drawstring Toy Bag is perfect for keeping toys and books in one place. The drawstring also makes this bag a perfect travel accessory! Click here for free project instructions!
