Did it ever happened to You to hear “mom, dad he’s broke!” as You see Your child running towards You all in tears begging for you to fix their teddy bear? You can quickly look over the teddy bear and discover exactly what is wrong with it. But the hard part is how do you fix it? Even worse, how to come in front of Your child and say “I can’t do nothing sweetie, the teddy is just to old to be saved”. You know Your child doesn’t just want you to put a band-aid to it, he/she wants it to be just like it was before.

Even though, teddy bears can take a lot of “loving” from children and last for quite a long time, however there usually comes a time when teddy just can’t take it anymore. Luckily there are few ways for you to fix your child’s teddy bears without having to throw them away or face Your grieving child.

First thing You need to do is look all over Your teddy bear to see if anything really needs to be fixed. Once You determine what the actual problem is You should make sure you have all the proper gear. If for example, a string is hanging from the teddy you may want to try pulling it but keep in mind that this can make teddy come undone. Best way to go is to take a needle and sew that hanging piece of string back into the teddy. Even if Your bear has a hole on his side or anywhere else, it can be fixed the same way so no one will ever know that he once came apart.

Most common damages teddy bears have is that they always seem to lose their cute little nose or those glass eyes. If you don’t have a replacement eye the smart thing to do is to add a patch to your teddy bear so You make him look like a pirate. After the movie “Pirates of the Caribbean”, pirates are back in fashion and Your kid will love it for sure.

If You notice that your teddy bear has fur coming out of him it could be just because he’s been worn out on this side. It is usual for kids to favor holding teddies a certain way, which tends to wear out that side. You can purchase a patch that resembles the fur and replace it or you can simply get some fabric, cut it to the size you need and sew it back on. I bet You know that teddy bears love to wear clothes as well, so if You are unable to do none of the above, you can start dressing up Your teddy bear. You probably won’t be able to fix all your teddy bears but if you really want to save them and make them collectors item one day then You should find a teddy bear expert.
