Characteristics Of My Teddy Bear

I have had many possessions precious to me, but non-mount to the only thing that I have had since I was born, my baby blanket. The blanket has gone through life with me, been with me through it all. This blanket is my childhood; it means the most to me and it is the memories I couldn’t bear to hold. Though it’s a torn up piece of fabric, I could never let it

Toys can influence a child’s behavior, and his or her identity. Children are given toys that demonstrate different significance about aggression, different genders and how to interact with each other. An example would be guns and swords; these are geared toward boys, and endorse fighting, and battling In retrospect, guns and swords can help children in developing

I was very happy to see them again, but I realized I couldn’t for the life of me, remember their names. It doesn’t seem like a big deal, but as a child I spent hours and sometimes even days thinking up names for all of my stuffed animals. It hadn’t bothered me too much, until I realized I could remember the names of stuffed animals I no longer owned—stuffed animals I hadn’t seen in eight years.

Theories and objectives that I have embedded into my performance include the transformation of spectator into the actor, image theatre, forum theatre and importance of proper speculation. It all begins with my cultural artifact, my stuffed animal bear. My stuffed bear may not have a dramatic history like many other objects out there in the world, but it does hold an important value for many if not all. We all grew up having that one toy we deeply loved and were emotionally connected with and for me, it was my bear. I first came into contact with it starting at a very young age and, therefore, I am unable to put a date on it. Regardless, it is a priceless possession that I own and it 's unknown value only appreciates with time. Stuffed animals are objects that are most commonly given to children as gift and presents. What people do not realize is that it is more than just a sentimental gift but rather a tool, a friend, and a companion to those receiving it. It is a tool because it aids young kids to embrace their emotional side which they are often told to withhold especially if they are boys. More than that, it is a friend and a lifelong companion, stuffed animals are typically given to children before they are actually capable of making friends and, therefore, it is usually considered their first attempt or first contact (Miller, 1999). According to Smith (2011), people in modern day society overlook the importance of stuffed animals and its contribution cultivating our

When you were a kid, you probably carried around some sort of toy that you liked. For girls it might have been barbie dolls or the life-sized baby dolls. If you were a boy it was probably little toy cars (and we all carried around a blanket at one point in our life). But for me it was always stuffed animals that hung around in my hands. I was hardly interested in the dolls and doll houses that other girls had. My mother tells me that wherever I went (and there are pictures to prove it) I always carried a stuffed animal around. Whether it be a pig, cat, or monkey, I was always holding a stuffed toy. When I was told that there was a job for caring for the animals that I cherished, I was overcome with joy, I wouldn’t stop answering the question,

When ever I think of my childhood there is always one memory that always pops into my head; playing with my tamagotchi all throughout elementary school. A tamagotchi is a small oval-shaped device that consists of a screen and a few buttons. What made the tamagotchi appealing to me was the concept of the egg hatching when you first start the game and you care for it until it grows its wings/”dies.” How well the child cares for the pet will determine how healthy and well-behaved the pet is. When I was playing with the tamagotchi, I always made sure that they were cared for extremely well, and I would even sneak it to school with me to make sure it was not neglected. Having the tamagotchi was my first experience of

When president Theodore “Teddy” Roosevelt visited the South in 1902. He was invited to a hunting party. The organizers of the hunt was eager for the President to have a successful hunt. Tying a bear cub to a stake so that President Roosevelt could not miss the bear. After Roosevelt realized he could not escape, the President refused to fire. A political cartoons was printed in a newpaper based on the incident. The cartoon, drawn with a small black bear, was seen by a shop owner in brooklyn. The shop owner than made up a window display version of the little bear, in a soft, plush material before offering the bear to customers, the shop owner asks Roosevelt for permission to sale the new toy as “Teddys Bear.” The President gave his approval,

You’ve always been aware that there was something missing, a spec of yourself that you had lost. A splinter lost among the masses, unbeknownst to you of what exactly it is. It isn’t until you take an interest to studying old films that you realise what you’re missing. You’re missing a caretaker, someone to look over you as you grow and progress into adult hood. Someone who loves you unconditionally and shows that affection through providence and protection. You’ve always had your stuffed bear Ted there for you; old with faded colour and fraying fabric he listens to your problematic teenage issues and is always there for the occasional hug when you’re feeling a little too down on yourself.

WRITE UP: One of the most aspect and trait that was evident was the identity of Canadian Military personals and families. During World War One, Ten-year old Aileen Rogers sent her teddy bear with her father, hoping that it would keep him safe, companied, and bring home some good luck. Aileen seemed to understand what war was like, and meaning of her father being overseas serving in the proud Canadian Expeditionary Force. Nevertheless, as the father fought in the muddy battle of Passchendaele in Belgium in 1917, Lawrence Roger’s was killed, and as the soldiers noticed they retrieved his body, and found the teddy bear in his pocket. It was returned to the Rogers family, along with other personal items, including his spare jacket and Cap. These mementoes served as a family artefact with a deep thoughtful message between husband and father. This resembled the strong Canadian family’s values and identities, a one filled with a strong family connection. This artefact kept the father with hope, and he cherished the true connection of home to the brave Canadians serving overseas. These are the true connection of Canadian family values during times of despair where they can be

In it’s planning stage, Build-A-Bear seemed like a whimsical idea that wouldn’t sprout into anything more than a daydream. However, successful entrepreneur Maxine Clark thought otherwise. While adults might not have understood the passion and love for a small stuffed bear, she knew children did. She had felt that passion since she was a small girl, all the way back in 1949. Small animal friends were what inspired children, what aided their social growth throughout childhood and became their best friend. Bored of her old life, and with the support of her loving husband Bob Fox, she withdrew nearly all of her retirement funds and started a business. In 2008, she’d be named one of the 25 most influential

1) How would you describe Vermont Teddy Bear (VTB)’s business model (the products and services it sells, target market/s to whom it sells them, the value proposition it offers, and its financial model)?

“I still collect toys.Toys are a reflection of society. They are the tools that society uses to teach and enculturate children into the adult world. Toys are not innocent.” (Burden). When you think of toys you probably think about dolls or Hot Wheels. What you probably don’t know is the toys can vary into anything. Toys are usually used to entertain yourself, but what if they represent more than just that. It can be a famous cite, make you question society, or just make you think about how we’re treating each other. Anything can be a toy. You just have to be creative to make it more than a toy. Chris Burden, an amazing artist famously known for creating artwork that reflect on society, used toys in most of his work. Burden is famously known

When a little kid gets a teddy bear, a toy train or a doll from a special time or a special someone, it can become a part of them. Some kids carry a teddy bear or doll until it is falling apart and missing eyes, but no matter what it looks like to others, it’s still beautiful to them. I have things that are important to me, because my Grandfather that passed away gave them to me. These are things that I keep as a memory and no matter how old they get or how old I get, they are always going to be special to me.

When I cuddle up on the couch with my blanket, waves of emotion overflow me. As a baby, I adored the cartoon “The New Adventures of Winnie the Pooh,” which prompted my parents to buy me my blanket. The pictures decorating the cloth present two of the most popular characters from when it was made, Pooh Bear and Piglet, showing the two friends giving each other a hug seemed to create a higher aura of kindness and love that further improves bad emotions. Small patches of patterns surround the centerpiece, the multicolored squares, plain white clouds, and colorful minimalistic depictions of bees. The previously bright and

Since the beginning of time, toys have often been an indicator of the way a society behaves, and how they interact with their children. For example, in ancient Greece, artifacts recovered there testify that children were simply not given toys to play with as in the modern world. The cruel ritual of leaving a sick child on a hillside for dead, seems to indicate a lack of attention to the young (Lord 16). The same is true of today’s society. As you can see with the number of toy stores in our society, we find toys of great value to our lives and enjoy giving them to children as gifts. Ask just about any young girl what she wants for Christmas and you’ll undoubtedly get the same answer: “A Barbie.” But what exactly has caused
