Vermont Teddy Bear Company

When we went to Vermont with Kim, Mark and Savannah, we made a stop at The Vermont Teddy Bear Company.

The Vermont Teddy Bear company makes all there bears by hand.  They make approximately 175 teddy bear a day.  All of their bears are guaranteed against any kind of damage.  Their bears have moveable arms and legs, even their heads will turn all the way around.  The eyes of their bears have a patented device that tightens the eyes to the bear head the more they are pulled on making them very safe for small children. They also have the words “Born in Vermont” embedded in the eyes!!

You can have a bear custom made. You can have any color eyes and they have many different fur colors.  Each bear is shipped in a box, with some kind of candy so the bear won’t get hungry on his trip.  The bottom of the box warns the UPS man that the bear inside is upside down!

Back when Ed and I first met, he sent me a Vermont Teddy Bear for Valentine’s Day.  It is the same bear that now sits on our dash and leads us around the country.

  3. I took our neighbor's little girl to Make A Bear at the mall. I am not sure who had more fun making the bear...Anna and me! Enjoy the ride.
