Young teddy bear lovers who wish to have the experience of creating their own stuffed animals can visit the Build-A-Bear Workshop® to create a customized teddy bear. A popular destination for children’s birthday parties, the Build-A-Bear Workshop® features a variety of furry friends. Guests can even choose Disney-inspired clothing and accessories or special sound effects for their teddy bears.
Since the teddy bear is universally associated with happy childhood memories, it should come as no surprise that many adults purchase teddy bears for themselves. Adult collectors of teddy bears are known as arctophiles—a combination of the Greek words “arcto” for bear and “philos” for love. However, adults in search of a collectible teddy bear often gravitate towards custom-made bears that feature hand stitching and other intricate details. Unlike the children’s teddy bears sold at toy stores, collectible bears are typically found at craft shows or in specialty boutiques. The makers of collectible teddy bears are not required to follow toy safety guidelines, so these bears should always be kept away from small children.
One unique type of collectible teddy bear for adults is the soy dipped bear. Enterprising crafters dip teddy bears found at thrift stores and consignment shops into scented candle wax to create a decorative display object. The scent of a soy dipped wax teddy bear lasts for several months, making a beautiful yet highly functional air freshener.
