Toy Bears

Toy stuffed bears are one of the classics of childhood, and I would be willing to bet that they always will be. Don't get me wrong there are many different kinds of stuffed animals that kids like.

In the presence of love, miracles happen.

When I was a little kid, I had a toy unicorn that was one of my favorites. I would sleep next to it every single night, carry it around with me, and even have conversations with it. Nevertheless, I also had several toy bears on my bed. Even if your toy bear was not your favorite, you would always have at least one.

Growing up in the 80s, I saw the development of some of the first toy talking bears. I think they were called Teddy Ruxpin, and they were quite a bit different than anything we had seen before. Of course, nowadays, there is nothing strange about talking toy bears. After all, we have robots that walk and talk, and some of them are even able to interact with kids on a limited basis. Back then, however, it was a pretty amazing invention.

Basically, you would put in a cassette tape, and its lips would move to the words. He came with a set of stories, and if you let your imagination do the work, it was like the toy bear was talking to you, reading you a bedtime story. Although I found a little bit spooky at first, it soon became one of my favorite toys. As a matter of fact, I think it was one of the top toys in the school for a while.

Ironically, it seems that toy stuffed animals have gone back to their roots. Kids still treasure their Teddy Ruxpin bears, but as robot toys have developed more and more, people have also discovered that there are some things that you can't improve on. After all, the purpose of the toy bear is to be a cuddle buddy. Toy bears with too many moving parts in them don't last through quite as much affection. Kids are perfectly willing to pretend that a stuffed animal that never speaks is alive, but when a stuffed animals speak to begin with, seeing them lose the ability can be quite upsetting. When they get a little bit older, I will let my kids have toy robots, but until that point I'd prefer to have them use their imagination. After all, I don't want them to have to find out that their toy bears had died!
