10 Ways to Play With Teddy Bears – National Teddy Bear Day

Happy National Teddy Bear Day! Teddy bears are classic toys that provide comfort and soft snuggles to kids of all ages. Here are 10 fun, classic ways to play with teddy bears. If you can, #ShareABear with a child in need.

Our kiddo has plenty of toys, but one thing that he did not have was a teddy bear. Yes, I’m serious. He snuggles with all sorts of toys, and has even been known to sneak matchbox cars and trains into the bed at night. But there’s something soothing and comforting about a teddy bear, and I was so excited when we received these super soft, super snuggly teddy bears.

Snuggle is on a mission to #ShareABear with thousands of children in need. They’re donating 5,000 bears to charity, and we’re spreading the word! Snuggle® is the brand of premium-quality fabric conditioning that enables Moms to create even more snuggle-up moments. Only Snuggle delivers Snuggly Softness® and long-lasting freshness at a noticeable value to the leading brand.

Here’s our kiddo when he received his Snuggle bear.

 

As you can see, he was more than a little excited to hug and play with his newfound friend. But if your kiddo’s teddy bear has fallen to the wayside, you may just need a few fun play ideas to get them interested in their old friend again. Here are 10 kid-tested (and kid-loved!) ways to play with a teddy bear.
