The bears that travel and for hundreds of school kids in the U.S. they are their window on the world of geography. The Traveling Teddies program, a creation of the Society of American Travel Writersprovides dozens of cuddly bears who report back to classrooms on their travels. Teachers and parents need all of the help they can get in preparing young people for the global environment and these fuzzy little creatures do that, while sharing history, science and languages and of course, geography in a fun and friendly manner.
