The symbol of care and unity has always been significant in the family in order to have a connection. A reference to this symbol is nothing more than a bear. In particular mother bears who care for their cubs until they are able to maintain themselves and live on their own. When these babies are born they are helpless and blind, unable to fend for themselves, but with the help of their mothers they gain strength to then build on the skills they were taught. Because bears care for their own they create comfort and familiarity so what better way to create this is kids then fro them to have a teddy bear, or even make their own. Being able to not have to pick from the selection toy stores offer but accessorize a cuddly friend. Build-A-Bear Workshop
