Happy Halloween from Giant Teddy: Teddy Bear Scare

Sunny Cuddles: Halloween Teddy Bear Prankster

Halloween is a fun time at Giant Teddy. All the big teddy bears dress up in silly costumes and have fun, and trick or treat all over the office before heading to the big Halloween party. Of course, there is still important teddy bear work that must be done and the bears balance fun with responsibility. Well, everyone but Sunny Cuddles.

Sunny spent his morning trying on different costumes and leaping out of the supply closet as people and bears roamed by. He started out yelling, “Boo!” but when BooBoo Shags kept saying, “Yes? What do you want?” Sunny switched to yelling “Gotcha!”

By lunchtime, most of the other big bears were fed up with his antics. Cozy Cuddles was limping after he slipped on the banana peel he dropped when Sunny burst out of the supply closet wearing a mask. Lulu Shags had spilled her smoothie all over her costume and was trying to clean it up.

He put a whoopee cushion on the office assistant’s chair. He put super glue on the toilet seat – and Almond Shags had to go to Bear First Aid to repair the bald spots after he was the victim of that caper. Lady Cuddles was screaming about a huge spider in her chair that turned out to be rubber.

It seemed that every human and bear at Giant Teddy had been the target of one of Sunny’s Halloween pranks. And while they all normally loved Sunny and his fun-loving ways, he had just gone too far.  He kept reminding them all he was the best prankster and never got scared.

When Sunny was found in a pile of trick-or-treat candy wrappers taking a nap under the conference table instead of finishing his Teddy Bear Report due by the end of the day, they decided to teach him a lesson. They let him sleep, and he woke up grumpy just as everyone was leaving for the party. Sunny would have to stay late to finish. “Why didn’t anyone wake me up?” he asked. But all the other teddy bears just ignored him and left.

Sunny was at his desk feeling sorry for himself and trying to finish his reports so he could get to the party when he heard the noise. An odd noise. Some might say a scary noise. He looked around. “Hello?” he called.

Nobody answered. But somewhere far down a hall, a door creaked. Sunny got a little  nervous. It was Halloween after all. What if there was a deranged bear monster on the loose? He looked down the hall and saw a strange flicker. And then he heard a creepy kind of wail, and a cackling laugh. A door slammed and he heard scuttling feet.

“Who’s there? Who is it?” Sunny was getting scared. He turned and suddenly a dark cloaked figure with a flickering Jack-o-lantern head was in front of him, laughing maniacally. Sunny screeched and started running down the hall. Just as he passed the supply closet, it burst open and a bunch of vampires jumped out. Sunny started screaming but realized he heard laughter. “Gotcha!” yelled a lot of bears at once.

Sunny Cuddles had his paw to his chest. Someone flipped on the office lights. There stood all his bear friends, laughing. Sunny smiled sheepishly. “Wow. I guess I had that coming, huh?” His friends all nodded. Cozy put his arm around Sunny and said, “But we forgive you. Forget the report. Ray said you can turn it in tomorrow. Come to the party – it isn’t the same without Sunny Cuddles there!”

Giant Teddy Bear Magic

The Cuddles Clan Explains Teddy Bear Magic

Have you ever noticed that the same color teddy bear can come in many sizes? Small bears, big bears, or a giant teddy bear – and sometimes, it is the same teddy bear who comes in all those sizes! Have you ever wondered why? I decided to ask four giant teddy bear siblings named Cozy Cuddles, Sunny Cuddles, Coco Cuddles and Brownie Cuddles.  

I’d seen them around town, and sometimes they were small teddy bears, sometimes they were large teddy bears, and sometimes they were giant teddy bears.  I couldn’t figure it out.

Were they just having growth spurts? Wearing teddy bear shoes with lifts to make themselves taller? I had to know. So I asked them. And by the way, they are even cuter up close! Their plush teddy bear fur is so soft, and I love their checkered brown bows.  They have big brown eyes, a chubby bear nose, and on first meeting, I just wanted to give them a big hug!  It is easy to see why their last name is Cuddles.

Cozy Cuddles proudly told me it was all about Teddy Bear magic. 
Sunny Cuddles said,"Giant Teddy bears all have different jobs.Sometimes, a small teddy bear might be needed to hug a little child or sit on a desk." 
"Other times, a giant teddy bear might be needed to work in an office, greeting people and making them laugh as they walk through the doors", explained Coco Cuddles. 
Then, Brownie Cuddles, the dark brown 6 foot tall giant teddy bear added, "Large teddy bears are lots of fun to have around, and make excellent college dorm room buddies, just don't make one a carpool buddy."

I stood speachless and amazed! I thought, "Could Teddy Bear magic really exist?", I didn't realize that I thought it outloud...

Sunny Cuddles then said "Teddy Bear magic makes each bear the perfect size for whoever they are going to live with, and whatever they need to do". 

It began to make sence and I began to reiterate, "So that’s why I saw a small cream teddy bear going into the Teddy Bear Movie Theatre with someone, and I thought he was Cozy Cuddles". Cozy nodded in aggreement.
"...And why, I saw a big white teddy bear that looked just like another size Coco Cuddles going into the pizza place with friends." I said in a proud voice while Coco nodded too. 
"And why I was pretty sure the giant brown teddy bear riding in a carriage with a bride and groom was a life size version of Sunny Cuddles" I exclaimed, while Sunny and Brownie nodded their heads at the same time.  

Each was using Teddy Bear magic. It lets any giant teddy bear like Cozy Cuddles, Sunny Cuddles, Coco Cuddles and Brownie Cuddles be whatever size they need to be in order to make someone happy.  So - what size teddy bear will make you happy?  Just let the Cuddles giant teddy bear clan know and your small or life size teddy bear will be on it's way to see you!
