Morris Michtom first got his idea for the teddy bear from a political cartoon depicting President Theodore Roosevelt on a bear hunting trip, where he refused to shoot a bear cub. Inspired by the cartoon, Michtom and his wife created a stuffed bear in honor of Roosevelt, which they named "Teddy's bear." They initially sold the bear in their Brooklyn candy store, and its popularity led to the founding of the Ideal Toy Company, making the teddy bear a beloved children's toy.
