Holly in FL Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 My 6yo DD wants a "real teddy bear" very badly. Her birthday is in November...so, I have plenty of time to find the right one! I have been looking at Gund and Boyd on-line. I'm not as happy with the Boyd line of bears because most of them either have clothing or are too small. I will not pay the money for a Steiff! Does anyone have a favorite Gund or other teddy bear? If so, let me know which one so I can finish my "research" and complete my mission! Ha!! Smiles! Thanks! ~Holly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
athena1277 Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 What does she consider a "real" teddy bear? Would a Build-A-Bear do? My dd "made" one for her 6th birthday. We went as a family for her to make and get an outfit for the bear, instead of a party, since they are so expensive. It's still a favorite toy.

Sasharowan Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 My kids love Build a Bears. They can squeeze them and get them the right amount of fluffy before the lady sews them up. And Grandma is a sucker for bears, so gets them outfits and stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orthodox6 Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 We always gave our babies a Gund ! (We judge bears by the "Gund Standard' ! :) ) Perhaps my favorite was a large white polar bear for DD, which we named "Arctica". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tinkgumby Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 I like big and huggable - like this one: http://www.shopatron.com/product/part_number=15379/753.0 But it really depends on what your daughter's preference is. Big? Little? Cartoony? Realistic? Is there any way you could take her to a toy store and see what type she gravitates towards? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holly in FL Posted July 21, 2009 Author Share Posted July 21, 2009 Yes...this one is on my list! Thanks! ~Holly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holly in FL Posted July 21, 2009 Author Share Posted July 21, 2009 Well...she has a few from Build-A-Bear...so, she doesn't mean those! Smiles! She wants a brown bear that looks more like a bear...but, not necessarily a "real" bear. Sigh... Thanks! ~Holly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

newbie Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 I have Robert Raikes bears, they are beautiful, they have wooden faces. They range in all prices, not as expensive as Steiff, but they are collectible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
