Instructions
Find out what kind of bear your child wants. Is she set on a panda or a Pooh or a Paddington? Ask her teacher or her siblings if you need ideas, or try subtly showing her some pictures.
Do a little research on current fads. Is there a particular brand she feels she must have? Kids' fads are sometimes impossible for parents to understand, but if her heart is set on a particular bear, it may have to be that or nothing.
Decide on a budget. Bears come in many shapes and sizes, and some bears can break the bank.
Decide on a size. Does she want a bear to carry in her backpack or to sit on the couch next to her while she reads? If she's set on an expensive brand, getting a small one may be a way to compromise.
Shop around, locally or online. Prices vary widely, especially for collectibles.
