Stuffed Teddy Bear Songs And Poems

Even though the teddy bear is over 100 years old, it is still one of most famous toys for children of all ages.

The cute, cuddly, stuffed bears have been known to bring out warm feelings in even the toughest of men. We have been inspired by the stuffed bear teddy to the point of writing songs and poetry about them.

One poem entitled, Egbert and Me', concerns a stuffed bear that wakes in the night and sits on the window sill to watch over a child. When pirates break in during the night, the bear quietly fights them off with a sword, and when the one-eyed bogey-man breaks silently through the wall.
Teddy bear songs are very popular, especially with young children. They love to think of their teddy bears as being like them, a bit more human.

Teddy Bear's Picnic, seems to be the well known song about teddy bears. The author starts by warning the reader not to go into the woods. If they do go into the woods, they should go in disguise; Good teddy bears will have lots of wonderful food to eat, and under the trees they'll play . If the reader goes down to the woods today they will be able to see the stuffed teddy bears gad about, and when they play they like to shout.

Winnie The Pooh sings a few songs of his own. I will include one of them here.

It's a very funny thought
that, if Bears were Bees
They'd build their nests at the bottom of trees
And that being so (if Bees were Bears)
We shouldn't have to climb up all these stairs.
