Before you decide to round yourself up a Vermont Bear to wash, visit the Vermont Teddy Bear Company in Shelburne Vermont. Their handmade exquisite Teddy Bears like to be played with and loved. Besides, real bears might not fit in a pillowcase.
So, what's special about a Vermont Teddy Bear? Each and every
one is handmade, no two bears are alike. The Bears are fully jointed, 100% child safe (as long as the Bears are bare), they are flame retardant and hypo allergenic. Most importantly though, these critters have a lifetime guarantee from Vermont Teddy Bear Company.
Imagine, if your little fuzzy pal gets an amputation by the neighbors dog, you can call Nurse Stacy at the Vermont Teddy Bear Company. Send your companion to the Teddy Bear Hospital to be nursed back to health for free, or get a replacement at no charge. No worries about health insurance or Medicare, too bad we don't all have it so good!
Vermont Living suggests a special visit to Shelburne, Vermont (located in the Champlain Valley of Northwestern Vermont) and the Vermont Teddy Bear Factory - where Vermont Teddy Bears are born. Vermont Teddy Bear is the largest American maker of handcrafted Teddy Bears. Run by Elisabeth Robert, known as "Mama Bear", the Vermont Teddy Bear Company is also a great story about an american enterprise pulling itself up from near bankruptcy.
This colorful Vermont factory offers a free, fun, half hour tour the whole family will enjoy. Find more information by visiting our Vermont Factory Tours section.
