A Teddy Bear or teddy is a stuffed bear-like Plush toy made for children. Some are made just as a collectors item and can be sold for a lot of money.

Their name was given to them by 26th President of the United States, Theodore Roosevelt after a long day of hunting bears but of no success. His maids made him a stuffed bear toy made out of scraps and rags around the house. But when they finally did catch a bear, his daughter named it "Teddy" (Roosevelt's nickname) and the name caught on.

Among the most popular manufacturer of teddy bears today is the Vermont Teddy Bear Company.
