History of National Hug a Bear Day

The origin and the founder of National Hug a Bear Day is still unknown. Hug a Bear Day is not a day to embrace the massive, dangerous and angry beast – Bears. Hug a Bear Day is a day to give a tight hug to your loved ones and your favorite teddy bear. The ancient Egyptians have recognized for the making of the first plush toys. Even though there are no remains of stuffed toys that have been invented in Egypt, paintings on the monuments suggest they did own animal toys. Modern stuffed animals were first released in the year 1830, but they were handmade with cloth and straw. In 1880, Germany started manufacturing stuffed animals that closely resembled the cute toys that we still purchase today. Stuffed animals were not popular in the US until 1906 when President Theodore Roosevelt inspired the production of the first “Teddy Bear.”
