#59830 FUZZY BEAR

Fuzzy Wuzzy was a bear.
Fuzzy Wuzzy had no hair.
So... Fuzzy Wuzzy wasn't fuzzy, was he?

Fuzzy Wuzzy was the term used by British colonial soldiers for the nineteenth century Hadendoa warriors supporting the Sudanese Mahdi. Fuzzy Wuzzies are remembered today primarily for a popular English children's rhyme, and for a poem by Rudyard Kipling.

Our Fuzzy Bear is a 15 in. tall Hand Puppet with workable mouth and arms.

#2806 SITTING PANDA

While the Chinese dragon has been historically a national emblem for China, since the latter half of the 20th century the Panda has also become a national emblem for China. Its image appears on a large number of modern Chinese commemorative silver, gold, and platinum coins. The giant panda is a favorite of the public, at least partly because many people find that the species has an appealing baby-like cuteness. Also, it is usually depicted reclining peacefully eating bamboo, as opposed to hunting, which adds to its image of innocence. Our Sitting Panda Hand Puppet is 10 inches tall and has a movable mouth and paws.

TEDDY BEAR (2557)

According to one legend the name derives from a bear-hunting trip in 1902, when Teddy Roosevelt's tracker found and caught an old injured bear. Roosevelt refused to kill the animal, calling it "unsportsmanlike", and instead released it. "Teddy's Bear" was immediately publicized by political cartoonists, taking journalistic licence and changing it to a young cute bear. Our cuddly Hand Puppet Teddy Bear is 19 inches tall.
