Care Bears Are Back And Fun As Ever

Care Bears are back! You remember them, the soft fuzzy teddy bears in rainbow colors with great names like Love-a-lot Bear, Tenderheart Bear and Funshine Bear. They enjoyed immense popularity in the early 1980s. There were tv shows, lunch boxes, books and even movies celebrating the Care Bears.

You don’t have to travel back to the ‘80s to find a Care Bear. What’s old is new again, and Care Bears are back and as fun as ever. You can find all your favorites: Laugh-a-lot Bear, Bedtime Bear, Cheer Bear, Good Luck Bear and even Grumpy Bear.

Care Bears are sure to bring a smile to every face. Their plump little bellies, each emblazoned with a cute symbol of their personality, add to their charm. Friendship Bear has flowers on his tummy, Wish Bear has a shooting star, and Champ Bear has a golden trophy. You can always tell a true Care Bear by the heart symbol on his right hip.

There are also new and classic versions available. Classic versions are made exactly as they appeared when they first debuted. New Care Bears have an updated look, with different tummy symbols and colored paw pads.

Don’t forget that Care Bears aren’t limited to small plush dolls. There are bean-filled bears, micro bears, light-up bears, and bears that sing gentle lullabies. There’s also an entire collection of accessories, so you can create your own Care-a-Lot land.
