Deep dives
The Origin of the Teddy Bear
The teddy bear originated from a hunting trip taken by Theodore Roosevelt in 1902. After failing to shoot a bear, Roosevelt showed mercy to a wounded, tied-up bear and spared its life. A political cartoonist depicted this moment, which inspired the creation of the first teddy bear. Initially considered a novelty, teddy bears gained immense popularity, outshining baby dolls in the market.
