Who doesn't love the cuddly, loveable images of teddy bears? Now, if you want to make your personal checks a little more personable, you can use the delightful little bears to spruce up your checks and bring a touch of personality to them.

Even though the teddy bear might feel like a standard toy today and loved by everybody around the world, he really hasn't been around as long as it might seem. The teddy bear as we know him was developed at the start of the 1900s and was named after Theodore Roosevelt who was president at the time.

So how did the dearly loved little guy get his name from one of the much-loved presidents in the history of our country?

According to history, President Roosevelt was hunting bears in Mississippi in 1902 with the governor when one of the president's attendants had an American Black Bear chased by some hounds and then clubbed and tied him to a willow tree. When the president came over, they recommended to him that he shoot the bear but he declined. Still, he thought that the bear best be killed because it was the humanitarian thing to do. This became the theme of a political cartoon in the Washington Post.

A toy developer saw the picture and created a toy bear cub which he stuffed and placed in his shop window. He called it "Teddy's bear." He also sent one to the president. By 1906 manufacturers everywhere were making the "Roosevelt Bears" and everyone wanted one. President Roosevelt even used one as a mascot in his bid for re-election.

At first, the bears resembled real bear. Over time, however, they became more cuddly looking and cartoonish in nature. These days they're softer and plusher. The teddy bear has become an icon and symbol for childhood and has been celebrated in film, song, dance, commercials, and cartoons. You can find them made out of everything from porcelain to paper mache.

There are several different kinds of Teddy Bear checks to choose from and all of them are just as cute and cuddly as the bears themselves. Well, perhaps not as cuddly, but you'll certainly feel as though you could reach in and touch them!

If you worried about buying checks in the past because they were pricey then you'll be glad to know that these days when you get them from a reputable online company you can save as much as 50% off their price.

You will have a lot of designs to choose from, in addition to coordinating accessories. Not only will you be able to pick from lots of great looking designer check series, you'll have coordinating address labels, contact cards, and leather checkbook covers that you can buy at an extra cost to go along with your new checks as well.
