But first, Who actually invented the Teddy Bear?

Well, like teddy bears, this answer has two arms:

The invention of the teddy bear is attributed mainly to a couple of significant individuals who played noteable roles during the same time period.

Over in the USA, Morris Michtom, a shopkeeper from New York, is considered to be one of the primary creators of the teddy bear:
Inspired by a political cartoon published in 1902, which depicted then President, Theodore Roosevelt, saving a captured bear cub, Michtom fabricated a stuffed bear and displayed it in his shop window, labelling it "Teddy's bear."

Simultaneously, in Germany, renowned toy manufacturer, Richard Steiff, had also been busy designing his own toy bear:
Steiff developed a first of its kind, jointed bear with movable limbs and a distinctive hump, which set it apart from other stuffed animals of the time. Steiff's teddy bears were introduced to the market in 1903 and became an immediate international sensation.

Both Michtom and Steiff played crucial roles in popularising the teddy bear and their creations soon became one of the most beloved childhood toys, transcending borders and cultures.

Today, teddy bears are available in a huge array of sizes, styles and materials. They continue to be cherished as timeless classics, and are often passed down through generations as treasured heirlooms.
