Teddy Day, observed on February 10, is the fourth day of Valentine’s Week. It’s a special day to express affection and love by gifting cute, cuddly teddy bears, which symbolize warmth, comfort, and care. Exchanging teddy bears with loved ones—whether a partner, friend, or family member—is a sweet way to show that you care and want to be there for them. People often pair teddies with heartfelt messages, chocolates, or flowers to make the day more memorable.
The History of Teddy Bears
Teddy bears are named after former US President Theodore “Teddy” Roosevelt. In 1902, Roosevelt famously refused to shoot a tied-up black bear during a hunting trip. A political cartoon depicting the event inspired Morris and Rose Mitchom, who decided to create a stuffed bear toy in honor of the president. Morris Mitchom called it “Teddy’s Bear,” and the iconic toy was born.
