There is an awful lot of talk going on about bullying right now. It has reached an all time high. For some reason children have been taught if you look different or talk different it is OK to make fun of someone and sometimes it escalates to more than just words. Now, I came from a family where we had friendly teasing, that sometimes went overboard, but nothing like what goes on today. My own children have been diligently taught that you do not make fun of someone. When teasing starts I like to ask, "Is everyone having fun? So I was excited to receive Ugly Ted for review. I just have to tell you the first thing one of my children said upon seeing Ugly Ted was, "Mom, he is so ugly he's cute!" Well needless to say, Ugly Ted has found a home where he will be loved and well taken care of.
Shy!
Slowly peeking out!
Seriously, Ugly Ted is not your average teddy bear. He has one ear larger than the other. His nose is crooked, and so are his two front teeth. His body, arms and legs do not match his head as far as size. Poor Ted, will anyone love him as much as they do other teddy bears? Yes! Especially now my daughter has seen him! I have a feeling he will be going with us to Chicago soon.
Now if you would like your own Ugly Ted you can purchase him online for $16.99. Not a bad price for such a lovable little guy. Presently on their website there are 4 stories about Ugly Ted that you can share with your children. They are also available in PDF format so you can print them off for your children to read. On the site a downloadable Adoption Certificate can be found that you can fill out to adopt Ugly Ted. And last but not least, that is where you can sign up for the Ugly Ted Newsletter.
Ugly Ted can be found on Facebook and Twitter, so be sure to look him up. And while researching Ugly Ted, I found out that they are working on releasing Ugly Ted's best friend Squirky Squirrel. I am so excited to be able to share Ugly Ted with my neighbors here At the Fence. One of my neighbors will receive their own Ugly Ted to love. I think maybe he should have been named Cute Ted!
Disclosure:I received no monetary compensation for this post. I did receive one Ugly Ted for review purposes. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
