Nobody knows how Teddy Bear Day got started, but who needs a reason to have fun? Bringing a whole lotta fun is what we do all day, every day at JoJoFun!
Fun Fact: Teddy Bears were named after the US president Theodore "Teddy" Roosevelt. One day Teddy and his friends went on an unsuccessful hunting trip. One of his friends found a baby bear and invited Teddy to shoot it, so all wouldn't be lost. Teddy wouldn't have that! He naturally refused. Shortly after, a toy bear manufacturer saw the opportunity and named their line of bears "Teddy's Bear." The name stuck!
