What did the first teddy bear look like?

The first teddy bear, created in the early 1900s, was a simple, plush toy resembling a bear, often with a mohair or plush exterior. It featured a round head, small ears, and a stitched nose, typically without any movable parts. Named after President Theodore Roosevelt, the original teddy bears were handmade and often had a more primitive, less refined appearance compared to modern versions. They were designed to be cuddly companions, appealing to both children and adults alike.
