Steiff invented the Teddy Bear in 1902, and this My First Teddy Bear has that storied history and proven experience as part of the classic design. Ultra-soft fabrics are gentle on a baby’s delicate skin, and the safety testing at Steiff meets rigorous standards in the U.S. and Europe. My First Bear is certified free of harmful substances by an independent testing organization, and the plush’s facial features are all embroidered. Our talented artisans handmake each of these genuine Steiff plush bears. To finish the iconic and cuddly design, the phrase "My First Steiff" is artfully embroidered on the paw pad. Our signature stainless steel "Button in Ear" is a testament to the premium quality of this My First Bear Teddy bear (which can be passed down to future generations). Inspire a long-standing family tradition with this plush gift for babies. The cream Teddy bear also comes in pink and blue, the soft pastels chosen to complement nursery décor.
