Soften Your Checks With Cuddly Teddy Bears

By Alan Plastin


It's easy to love the soft, cuddly little warm body of the teddy bear. Remember as a child how you used to hug it and hold onto it at night-or maybe even throughout the day? Now, you can bring back a remnant of your childhood and revisit that time with your own finances when you carry teddy bear themed personal checks.

Although the teddy bear might be a classic toy today and loved by all, he really hasn't been around as long as it might feel like he has. The teddy as we know him today was developed in the beginning of the 20th century and was named after Theodore Roosevelt.

So how was it that the furry guy got named after one of the country's most adored presidents?

The story goes that President Roosevelt and the governor of Mississippi were bear hunting in Mississippi in 1902 when some of the attendants clubbed an American Black Bear and tied him to a tree. They tried to get the president to kill him but he wouldn't, thinking that it wouldn't be very sportsman like. He did, however, think that the bear should be put down humanely. As a result of the incident, a political cartoon was drawn for the Washington Post at the time.

A toy developer saw the picture and created a toy bear cub which he stuffed and placed in his shop window. He called it "Teddy's bear." He also sent one to the president. By 1906 manufacturers everywhere were making the "Roosevelt Bears" and everyone wanted one. President Roosevelt even used one as a mascot in his bid for re-election.

Initially, the teddy bears looked like authentic bears. Later on, they became a little more cuddly and loveable looking. These days, they're softer and friendlier than they are realistic. Since his beginning, the teddy bear bas become a representation of childhood and has been celebrated in song, dance, film, cartoons, and commercials. Older teddies are collector items and while you can find them in figurines and made out of everything from paper mache to porcelain, it is the plush variety that remains the most dearly loved of all.

There are a few different Teddy Bear check designs to pick from. Each one is cuter than the last. While you might not be able to hug them, they're still awfully cuddly looking! Most of them have rotating images, too, so that every check image is different from the last.

If you hesitated against buying checks in the past because they were too expensive then you'll be glad to learn that these days when you buy your checks from a reputable online company you can save as much as 50% off their cost.

Plus, you'll have a lot of different designs to pick from, too. In addition, you'll have accessories such as matching address labels and leather checkbook covers that can also be purchased at an additional cost to go with your new teddy bear checks! Not only are coordinating accessories fun to carry and look at, but they're practical as well so you might feel even more tempted to purchase them. Writing checks has never been as much fun.
