Ancient Greeks took their inspiration from the human form. It became the basis for Greek art as well as a driving force behind mythology and philosophy. Greek sculpture tended to be life-sized, not massive and imposing like that of other great civilizations.

The teddy bear was appeared in two parts of the world at about the same time. In 1903 in Germany, Margarete Steiff made toy animals out of felt scraps in a small factory owned by her family. Her nephew, asked her to make a bear similar to his sketches of bears at the zoo. She did not want a toy bear to scare children, so she modified the bear's features.

He was stuffed with wood shavings and had shoe-button eyes with embroidered nose and mouth. The bear was displayed at a toy show in Germany, which caught the attention of an American toy buyer, who ordered 3,000 bears. Now
