In 1902, the original teddy bear was typically stuffed with excelsior, which is a type of shredded wood or wood wool. This material was commonly used in stuffed toys during that era, providing a soft but firm filling. The teddy bear originated after a political cartoon depicted President Theodore Roosevelt refusing to shoot a bear during a hunting trip, leading to the creation of the toy by Morris Michtom and his wife in their Brooklyn shop.

Why is the teddy bear named after him?

The teddy bear is named after President Theodore "Teddy" Roosevelt. The name originated from a hunting trip in 1902 when Roosevelt famously refused to shoot a bear that had been captured and tied up for him. This act of compassion inspired a toy maker, Morris Michtom, to create a stuffed bear, which he named "Teddy's bear," leading to the popularization of the teddy bear as a beloved children's toy.
