When you buy a teddy bear and the decline of Teddy

If you make the choice to wear a purchase of stuffed animals, you buy what 100 years clearly identified as the world's most popular toys, loved by children and adults more. It 'hard to imagine that iconic lead that began in 1902 as a pincushion, felt, never falling into disgrace, but Teddy has fallen into a crisis at some point in history.

From 1965 to 1979 producer Teddy Bear had a rough go there. To say it was a disastrous timewould be an understatement. manufacturers of traditional toys by the dozens, went out of business during which as the biggest shake-up has seen the industry has ever had. Only a few have managed to maintain quality manufacturer, but the future of Teddy was beginning to look pretty bleak.

The first reason for the "free fall" Teddy was that the birth rate began in 1979 and drop between the 1965th during the baby boom, companies had to expand to meet the needs of a growingPopulation, but many of them now had to withdraw - no easy task when you have already invested heavily in new machinery, new buildings and people.

The second reason for the decline was that the global customer base had changed. Toys and grandparents were generally purchased in the parents, but in 1965, children started on the right of consumers in their own and what they bought does not include Teddy. "Your money was in the hundreds of new toys have spent watchAdvertising on television.

Also in 1965, few companies have been very exclusive only on teddy bears or stuffed animals. Many, if not all were produced puzzles, toy cars, dolls and board games. Each of these products was vulnerable to a changing market during 1960 and 1970 - when a line of toys are bad, it would be very easy for the other tip line.

Multinational companies began to show the toys in this periodAn additional pressure on the Teddy Bear industry. By mid-1960, was home marks the dominant factor in Germany, Britain and the United States. Hasbro GI Joe has been authorized by the British company as Man Palitoy Action in 1966, the arrival of the multinational was born. Soon after, all the new toys are highly publicized and had great expectations for the international audience. As toy manufacturers urgently looking for the next GI Joe,traditional toys, like teddy bears, but they were all forgotten.

The final "nail in the coffin" for the teddy bear was the attraction of cheap labor to make the "toys of the moment." Since 1950, Western societies are under pressure from cheap imports from Japan and Hong Kong. To adjust the prices of foreign competitors, American and European manufacturers have no choice but stayed on as their production to Southeast Asia to move.

It 'hard to believethat at a time when you have bought a teddy bear, it was considered nothing more than a good stuffed animal, which was no longer treasure as a friend, but for the most part, it was nothing more than a symbolic gift that has been associated often bouquet of flowers or a box of chocolates. Companies that history could survive the terrible moment in the teddy bear, teddy bear, traditional producers, which was rather a quality product that most people werewilling to pay more. other toy lines failed case, these companies do not have this vulnerable to collapse (in the 20th century has seen people buy teddy popularity, despite the rise and fall of her).

Try to keep Teddy in a temperature not let me, and the sun is strong, because this will make his coat brittle and fade. If your house is an old dear bear then consider him a glass cabinet in the face, or at least the clothes to wear to protect his skin - this is great for protecting people and easily worn bear.

Repair of wear

Major Repairsrequires a professional operation, but it is very easy to do too little work at home. The most common wear and tear on a teddy bear, its paws and pads. You can cover worn brake pads with a piece of felt, cut slightly larger than the original pad and sewn securely to the outer edge. This is his filling can not escape.

SaveBear

Garage storage should be avoided because they are susceptible to moisture, which is bad for your furry friend.

Clean

New Bears need only occasional brushing with a soft brush. But if your bear is very dirty before then brush him all the dust and dirt removed. Then take another soft brush and soak it in detergent solution (designed for woven fabrics of wool) and apply a little 'foam on the surface - undervery careful not to excessively wet - in a circular motion. If you have addressed all the bear, and then gently rinse it with another brush dampened with clean water.

If your Teddy does not get wet, then blot excess water immediately with a soft towel. Allow to air dry, never dry in dryer, or even put it in a dry cupboard or somewhere warm.

One of the easiest things you can always clean your stuffed animals, is sometimes the dust it off. Dust mites accumulate all over the house, so if you are clean sweep as part of normal, why not clean your teddy bears? You can dust with a damp normal or even baby wipes. baby wipes are also sometimes easier to use furbecause the wet surface gives the dust mites to cling to something.

But even if it is,Be sure to provide a gentle cycle with softener to ensure order is used to maintain the softness of your toy. You can also learn from my example. I once washed my favorite cat toy, only to find that looked pretty worn when I finished. Fortunately, I had the bright idea to use a hair dryer, and soon it was nice and fluffy again. I have the same thing with a stuffed lion's mane, and looked like new after the magic of my hair dryer. Blow-drying definitely works to fluff up any toyFur.

Just take a small dusting into your cleaning routine regularly, or use the disk if you need a thorough cleaning. Remember, it is almost as difficult as you think your toys looking fresh and new.

Teddy Bears Travel Show Me Math - Part 1 - Introduction

Mathematics is one of the key themes of each curriculum, both the normal school class or home. Regardless of the learning situation, including teddy bears travel in the mathematics curriculum is something that is easy to do, take the attention of students and involve them in the learning process.

The differences between countries, but basically there are 5 areas of the mathematics curriculum, which areincurred during the academic year. They are: number sense and numeration, measurement, patterning and algebra, data management and probability theory and geometry and spatial sense.

Numbering and number Sense focuses on addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, fractions, decimals and percentages. concepts of measurement are: distance, length, area, perimeter, volume, time and temperature, while patterning and algebra seem to exploration and development to increase or decrease modeland understanding between pairs of expressions. Of course, with each grade level there is a corresponding increase in the complexity of content and level of knowledge and skills required of the student. The theory of data management and probability, the field of mathematics curriculum is responsible for collecting, organizing and presenting data in a variety of procedures and presented the reading, writing and data interpretation. The content of this probabilityStrand mathematics, students are required to provide the results of experiments and then conduct experiments and comparing the two results. On the way to the upper levels of primary school, students would be required to make predictions about actual events with models of probability. Geometry and spatial sense identification provides 2D and 3D shapes and figures, classify them under a variety of properties. And we are still waiting, the complexity of mathematical skills would be bigger, with eachfollowing school year. Finally, in the math section, students are expected to understand the network / coordinate system and be able to apply this knowledge in different situations.

In addition to these aspects of the mathematics curriculum, there are a number of categories to ensure that the teacher uses student learning and continuing education of student-specific. Knowledge and understanding of content is fundamental to the study of every part of the mathematics curriculum. In addition toThe understanding of the contents of the teachers see students thinking skills. That is, to use critical thinking, creative thinking and the process for solving problems of students. Communication is another important component of this section, category, such as students are able to explain the reasons for their answers orally, visually or in writing, must be available. From these various locations takes the student's different learning styles, while providing teachers with informationare needed to assess student learning and the necessary changes. Student application of knowledge and skills is crucial for the fourth category. Students must be able to extrapolate their understanding of their results and connections between different contexts.

By incorporating the travels of teddy bears in the mathematics curriculum, instructor is the situation, the material, the mathematical concepts taught. For example, a simple mathematical problem related toDistance and time might look like this: Sam takes his bear, Teddy, to his grandmother's house at Thanksgiving. It starts at 10:00 clock to arrive in the morning and half later reached their destination. What time is it coming? [PRIMARY] go 50mph/80kph. To what extent the family has to travel home to his grandmother? Or something more complicated: the family leaves early in the morning and it takes hours to get there at 3.25. They arrive at 11:30 clock. Go upan average of about 60mph/100kph. What route would you have?

Most of us, when you say: "Bear" and "would be AA Milne's' Winnie the Pooh, otherwise it is Edward Bear, known to be fond of honey and seems to be halfway down the stairs, along with Christopher Robin . But one particular poem, the lines and squares do not appear to be about Bears, is real about grizzly bears that roam the streets seem.

But how can evoke these bears? Quite simply, the cracks in the pavement are. (Ok,America are known as platforms, but this is a superstition English, ok?) You're "crazy" which are the corners and, understandably, after all, nobody wants to be eaten by bears.

The bears appear to act all innocent, as if they are not about to devour the children. But of course they are ...

This poem seems to be the malignancy of the stories of Roald Dahl, in which the adults ate in advance, but of course there was the famous poem recited by Stanley Hollowaya lion eating a man named Alberto. Previously, the Queen of Hearts ordered to be cut from the minds of people in Alice in Wonderland

The actual game goes a long way, does not seem to break back to square an old belief, which may represent the earth (which was probably also the four corners). There is a rhyme that reads:

Step on a crack, break your mother's back. Step on a line, break your mother's back.

Recently, the British program of comicsCharlie and Lola has made this game.
