The Bear Facts The Story of the Teddy Bear Children are encouraged to bring their teddy bears along to hear the story of how the teddy bear got its name. The lesson begins with the story Theodore Roosevelt's 1902 bear hunt that inspired the popular toy, told using illustrations and audience participation. Afterwards, children make a cardstock Teddy bear to take home! A brief house tour concludes the program. Note: The craft activity involves coloring and use of scissors by children. We recommend a minimum of one chaperone per 10 students for this activity, but as many as one per five students is helpful to assist in the craft activity.
