When we started the 'Great Teddy Bear Hunt' we thought
that we would get a lot stories about teddy bears. One
thing that keeps coming through from all the emails we
have received is that teddy bears means much more than
our classic stuffed bear. AT Kids Friendly New Zealand
we have learnt that "Teddy Bear" means a soft, normally
small, soft toy and takes on many forms, but what shines
through again and again is that these "teddy bears"
provide our children with comfort and support when we
aren't around to give it.
So look after those teddies, they give a lot of joy
to our kids!

Some
of our reader Teddy Bears -
Be warned they not all teddy bears
James' teddy bear is
Snowy
- a grey horse who appeared one day, true
owner unknown. But much loved by James and has a
birthday party once a year!
Sophia's teddy bear is
Dolly.
She is a pink, nine year old soft toy doll. She is
version two, the original Dolly was lost somewhere in
Birkenhead in Auckland some eight and a half years ago.
Although Sophia has out grown Dolly, she has asked her
mum to keep her safe until she had a daughter of her
own.
M.P.D. who doesn't want his true name given out, as
he is still at school, told us that his favourite teddy
bear was found in a garage sale when he was six months
old. The bear was washed and clean up and is still
around, some where. It has been on an Art Deco weekend
and travel all around the North Island of New Zealand.
