History of Teddy Day
An act of kindness around 120 years ago gave rise to the teddy bear. On a hunting expedition, US President Theodore Roosevelt (nicknamed Teddy) refused to shoot a bear cub out of compassion.
A cartoonist drew that act of charity and love for Washington Star – a newspaper. Two Russian immigrants got inspired by the cartoon, sewed a rough version of what we now know as a teddy bear, and dubbed it “Teddy’s bear.”
German toymaker Margarete Steiff created the stuffed bear – a predecessor to the modern-day teddy bear in 1903. This stuffed bear became popular and loved by children all around the world.
As Valentine’s Day became more commercialized, the teddy bear evolved and started getting produced in more colors and varieties. Slowly each color of the teddy bear started gaining different meanings. Since this stuffed toy was a hugely popular valentine gift among couples, the Teddy Day date was added to Valentine’s week.

Teddy Day 2024 falls on 10th February every year. Teddy Day is the fourth day of Valentine’s week and is marked by sweethearts giving cuddly teddy bears to each other. Since love comes in various shades, the teddy, too, comes in various colors, and each color symbolizes something different.
