Introducing Merritt!
Now available online and at select stores near you.
Newly designed and updated.
The Character Bear teddy bear will be your child's most treasured toy!
The teddy bear comes with a rhyming story starring Merritt and an adorable bee that is Merritt's inner voice. The story also features a prince and princess who learn from the bee to choose love over fear, to be careful not to judge, to always open their hearts, and to be kind.
Character Bear is incredibly soft, and has a patented heart shape opening on the front to fill the honeycomb lined cavity with the bee. There is room for additional collectable finger puppets that will each represent a new teachable character trait from additional stories.
Character Bear will create endless opportunities for pretend play and conversation to instill the lessons learned in each book.
Each story book and finger puppet is sold separately.
