“Sparkie” and “Sunnie”

– the Spark Kindness Bears

Vermont Teddy Bear Company believes that love is in the bear and that every teddy bear is made to give hugs, boost your courage and dry your tears when you need it most. That is why we are so grateful to partner with them to create “Sparkie” the Kindness Bear. It’s official! Our Purple Bear was named, “Sunnie” by our social media poll! It’s our hope that every bear will support those needing extra love and encourage everyone to be kind to others. Learn more and get your own Kindness Bears using the links below:
