Article Source: http://www.articlesbase.com/ – Huge Teddy Bear
Any child that has not had the pleasure of having a huge teddy bear, is at a distinct disadvantage to those that have. A huge teddy bear has occupied the place of the perfect friend and comforter since 1902 when teddy bear’s were first created. For the child (now an adult) that can’t tap into the nostalgia of that soft toy, it’s nothing short of tragic.
When adults see displays of huge teddy bears in a toy shop or in an online store, they are continually attracted to them, trying to recreate an experience or sensation that has become lost over time. There is no denying soft toys are an extremely important toy for children of all ages. So much so, that experience with them is more often than not, carried into adulthood. Some soft toys are so cherished, in fact, many children refuse to part with them no matter how battered and worn they become.
Just about every animal one can imagine is now replicated in a soft, miniature form. Despite the fact that some fine details may have been omitted in the quest to make the desired image, that doesn’t dissuade anyone from going on to purchase their favorite. The key to any soft toys attraction is its facial features, closely followed by the feel of its ‘fur’ or skin and then the stuffing. When teddy bear creator Margarete Steiff first made felt pincushion animals to give as gifts, the children of the mother’s they were intended for, fell so in love with their feel and size, they went on to claim them for themselves.
The key to the characterization of the huge teddy bear must fall squarely on the shoulders of Steiff’s nephew Richard. While his primary role in the Steiff company was to develop and design new toy lines, from the beginning he was fascinated by the possibilities of a soft toy bear. As a result, he spent many hours trying to design one that would be attractive to children. To this end, he made numerous sketches of bears he saw at the Stuttgart Zoo in Germany, in addition to those he saw at circuses and animal shows. His early models, in fact, were far too realistic – frightening rather than reassuring for the young people for which they were intended.
Near the end of the 19th century, Richard Steiff designed several bears that were meant to be ridden or pulled as they were positioned on all fours and set on cast-iron wheels. There were also bears produced that stood upright on their hind legs. And, despite being covered in mohair plush, they were not very huggable given some had internal metal frames and tightly stuffed woodwool making them feel too solid. In 1902, Steiff came up with a string-jointed movable animal which included a bear. It was the first such toy in the world

Large Teddy Bears and British Teddy Manufacturers
Large teddy bears are a staple of every child’s bedroom and/or playroom. Because of their popularity and ability to transport you right back to when you were young, you may find them in a few adult bedrooms as well. The Harwin & Co. Ltd. were a British producer of top quality teddy bears. It was founded by G.W. Harwin in 1914 in response to the import ban on German goods (where the first teddy bear was produced) after the declaration of World War I.

Giraffe Plush and Giraffe Conservation
If you look hard enough, you will be able to find giraffe plush that are larger than life in size. With some giraffe plush standing 4.5 feet tall, and filled with sound, that’s just about as good as it gets next to the real thing. In the past century, the West African giraffe (sometimes called the white giraffe because of their spots which are light in color), has seen its population drastically decline thanks to the loss of habitat and increased contact with the human population.

Teddy Bear Plush and the New Look of Teddy Bears in the United States
You would be hard pressed to find a child’s nursery that doesn’t have its share of teddy bear plush. What started out, in fact, as a humble nursery companion, has gone on to become a valuable collector’s item that continues to dominate the soft-toy market today. In the 1950s, the United States got very experimental when it came to the creation of teddy bears. Any company that was going to go on and grow (and survive), embraced the latest materials and designs.

If you’re a teddy bear connoisseur, then you know the following: teddy bears were first named after U.S. president Theodore Roosevelt in 1902. Teddy bears were first displayed in an American shop window in 1902. In 1903, in Germany, a seamstress named Margaret Steiff added plush bears to the Steiff catalog and sold 3000 of them to U.S. customers. In 1955, teddy bears were used by surgeons in the operating room to assist in putting children to sleep prior to surgery.

Children everywhere (and even some adults), have been in love with their teddy bears ever since they were innocently first created as felt pincushions to be given to family and friends as gifts.

Unicorn Plush and Profile of the Unicorn
Unicorn plush are popular soft toys for children. With the ‘mysterious’ history that surrounds them, children are simply fascinated by them. Unicorn, the word, comes from the Latin meaning “one-horned.” It’s an imaginary animal that has appeared in many a legend – from Chinese to Indian to European. The unicorn has been portrayed since medieval times as a horse that has a single horn that grows from its forehead.

Lion Stuffed Animal and The Lion’s Mane
Like the real thing, the lion stuffed animal is a very regal looking plush toy. Male lion stuffed animals are particularly stunning given their head is surrounded with a thick, plush mane. According to a number of scientists who studied some 300 lions in Tanzania’s Ngorongoro Crater and Serengeti National Park, the lions mane is a whole lot more than just a bunch of fur framing a face.

Gorilla Stuffed Animals and Dian Fossey
The great thing about gorilla stuffed animals is that they’re big, bulky, and very huggable, just as plush toys should be. In her undergraduate work Dian Fossey studied as a veterinarian student, but went on to spend seven years in a Louisville, Kentucky hospital as the director of occupational therapy. She developed an interest in mountain gorillas and was very interested in seeing them in their natural habitat. In 1963, she went on a week long safari to the Congo in Africa.

The Zebra Stuffed Toy and The Great Migration
While the zebra stuffed toy looks very much like a horse, it shouldn’t be mistaken for one, because it’s a zebra! Like the ‘famed’ wildebeest who make their annual migration across Africa’s Serengeti, plains zebra also migrate so they can find fresh land to graze on and water to drink. The Great Migration, as it is called, is essentially about how available grazing is, which in turn relies on how much rainfall there is.

Bulldog Stuffed Animal and Profile of the English Bulldog Breed
While some people are not all that fond of bulldogs simply because of the snorting and heavy breathing they do thanks to their their pushed-in snout, still others can’t get enough of this adorable breed. The early history of the English bulldog wasn’t a pleasant one – the breed was originally used for dog fighting and bull baiting. It’s believed the bulldog originated in the British Isles and because of the kind of ‘work’ it did, it was quite aggressive and not considered a companion animal.

Shark Stuffed Animals and Diving with Great White’s
Like the real thing, shark stuffed animals are a little frightening. Okay. A lot frightening! But that’s what makes them so interesting and different from ever other soft toy on the market. Diving to see the great white shark in its natural habitat is the thrill of a lifetime for those brave enough to go into the water with these formidable creatures. In South Africa, where many great whites can be found, cage diving is a fairly new adventure sport.

The Wolf Stuffed Animal and What the Wolf Can’t be Blamed For
For anyone interested in collecting soft toys, going with a theme makes it easier when choosing which ones to buy. With forest stuffed toys, the animal collection can consist of everything from plush moose to plush raccoons and bunnies, to the wolf stuffed animal. For many years, the wolf was on the endangered species list in the United States thanks to ranchers killing them off so as to protect their livestock from becoming their main source of food.
