There is a lot of happiness and excitement at this time of year isn’t there? We don’t know about you but all the little people in our life are busy creating Christmas lists and planning their nativity outfits. We love to hear their happy chatter and see their faces full of joy.
This week we’ve been thinking a lot about Christmas gifts, and finding the right gift for the right person. You have also obviously been thinking about this, as Bears4U has been like Santa’s workshop this past week with us wrapping up a huge amount of gorgeous cuddly bears that we know are going to be the best surprise under the Christmas tree.
At this time of year, we find that character teddy bears are very popular. Although there are many different well known character teddy bears Winnie the Pooh and Paddington Bear are probably the favourite choices for a Christmas gift for a little one. With options to personalise these teddies it is easy to see why they make such great gifts.
We thought we would take a little look at why character teddy bears are so popular with children.
Character Teddies are instantly recognizable
Children love a Teddy that they can recognize, a character from their favourite book or television program. It helps to create a little extra magic, seeing their much-loved friend come out of the page ready for a big cuddle.
Character Teddies help with recreating games children have seen in a book or film
There is a reason children like to read the same book or watch the same program over and over again. Repetition helps them to learn. Books and TV aimed at young children often have an important message relayed in a fun way and having the character in real life can help them to play games and learn more about the world.
Character Teddies make soft and cuddly friends
Like any Teddy, a character Teddy can make a really excellent friend for a child. Soft, warm and there for them through thick and thin. It is extra special being able to take the character Teddy out of their favourite book or tv show and on a new adventure.
Character Teddies can help children develop a love for stories
A love for a Teddy can really help to develop a lifelong love for the story that they come from. We have quite an infinity with Peter Rabbit, having read all the stories as children. A well-loved childhood Teddy can be passed down through the generations along with the love of stories.
Character Teddies are really lovely things and we have a large selection of children’s favourites including Paddington Bear, Peter Rabbit, Winnie the Pooh and Dumbo and they are suitable for all ages from Birth upwards. We think character Teddies make an especially good gift for new parents, enabling them to start a new tradition with their child. They are also ideal as a classic gift for christenings.
