Great Toy!
We just got the bear yesterday in the mail and my daughter LOVES IT!I had to wash it already last night!We had to go to the Dr. this morning and the bear kept her very entertained in the car and while we waited in the office.Now that is GOOD since she is 3 yrs and very active.I also went and bought washable markers because like another person said it only comes w/2 markers.Other than that its a pretty good toy!

Neat Idea!
My 3-year-old had been seeing this commercial and since she had some b-day money, she got a Doodle Bear.She picked out the pink one!They are all very cute in color.Have just gotten it, but have to say love the idea of doodling on this bear!She loves to draw and is quite the little artist!Great pasttime and is fun for me too because I get to draw with her.Not sure on durability as this little bear is getting her first trip to the washer tomorrow!!My only complaint so far is the markers.Only comes with 2 colors for the markers (green & purple with ours) and 2 stamp ends (orange sun and blue star), which are very faint and hard to see.The lids on the markers are very hard for my 3-year-old to remove by herself or to put on by herself, as they snap very tightly.Very frustrating for her to do by herself, as she tries to be independent a little too much!! I see from some others though that the company has said that other washable markers will work on the bear, so will have to try this out.Still think an assortment of colors with the markers would be more helpful and to make the quality of the stamps better and brighter, especially for the price range of these bears $15-$17.But all in all a great bear for lots of fun, especially if your child loves to draw and create!

doodle fun
This toy is a great idea, it is fun, i love drawing so this is cool because im always running out of paper but with the doodle bear you just wash it then you can draw alover again, it is also helpfull with school work because if you are learning a word you can practise writing it on the bear then when you can write it propally you can write it in your school book, also because the pens are washable markers you don't have to worry if you get the pen on you also if the pens run out you can bie some more, also the bear is soft and cuddely.

hi
i think this toy is reallycool
i finnally found a way to keep my kid sister entertained
i'd like to thank the person who came ^ with this idea it saved my life i was in a car crash and i was using it then i could have broken my neck but it stoped the crash

Markers
I emailed the company about the marker issue and they informed me that any of the washable markers on the market will work on the bears. I hope that helps someone make their decision. It sure helped me. The company replied to my email within hours. Very good customer service! ... Read more

This bear is the one thing we couldn't live without! Buy it!
I bought this bear after reading several positive reviews. I had been looking for something to help my baby sleep more soundly at night--he was only sleeping for a few hours at a time, even though I knew he was capable of sleeping longer. He just couldn't seem to get into a deep sleep. My son LOVED this bear from day one. For the first few days that we used it, he fell asleep almost immediately when I turned it on, and slept much more soundly, too. In fact, he didn't seem to want to get up from his naps because he was sleeping so well! Though it doesn't have quite the same effect now (a few weeks later), it definitely still calms him (as long as he's not extremely overtired, which seldom happens). It also works well as a "cue" for him to know that it's time to go to sleep (or so I believe). I love that the bear can be attached to pretty much anything with its velcro straps and that it has adjustable volume. If I had to say anything negative about the bear, it would be that it seems to run through batteries pretty quickly (two AA). It might be that the batteries I've been using weren't brand new, so that might explain it, but I'm not sure. Either way, it's worth it. I'd buy this bear again in a heartbeat (no pun intended), and plan on giving it as a gift to any friends who are expecting.

Wonderful!
To help out, I sleep in the same room with my new granddaughter once in a while. At first, whenever she was having a hard time sleeping, I would turn on some of her musical toys which nearly startled her awake! They were so LOUD in the middle of the night. I then purchased the Mommy and Baby Bears and what a godsend. The bear actually has a volume control and it plays for 40 minutes at a time. You can play the heart sounds or you can play classical music. We did have to go out and buy a tiny screwdriver to open the battery case to replace the double AA batteries, which was a pain. So, I suggest if you give this as a gift, include a tiny screwdriver with it.

Comforting sounds for sleep
This has been a must-have for us since the beginning. My son is now 7 months old, and we're still using it. It's great because the music or heartbeat will play for about 45 minutes, much longer than our mobile (5 minutes). The sounds are very peaceful and relaxing. Highly recommended!

great shower gift!!!
I have bought this bear for many friends and they all loved it. They swear by it's magic on their baby, most won't go asleep without it. I am now expecting, and it was the first thing I registered for.

Wonderful!
This is not only a cute product, but it works well to calm a fussy baby! The wooshing sound of the womb really does help sooth the baby to sleep!

I like that there is a volume button. I found that the loudest setting is good for the first few weeks that the baby is home and eventually you can start to lower the volume. There is also a switch to play soothing music, but we have found that the baby enjoys the womb sounds much more.

Each bear has a velcro strip so that it can fasten onto the crib. My only problem is that there is only one sound box for both bears. The box can be switched from the mommy bear to the baby bear, but I wish that each bear had it's own box so that one bear could always stay attached to the crib and the other could go downstairs with us during the day. It's really not that big of a deal as it's easy to switch the sound boxes, but it would be nice to have 2.

You'll be glad that you bought this! ... Read more

Great Toy - My kids Love it!
Great toy - well made. My kids begged me for it and havent put it down since. The washing feature is nice since they wont get bored of it. Wash it in the machine and its like getting a brand new one again.

Party favor
I really want 10 doodle bears for my birthday party favors and for the party craft. It is a sleepover so we can sleep with our bears when we are done. I think that there should be more markers! 2 is not enough. I love to doodle! Yay Doodle Bear!!!

Cute and snuggly!
We bought this for our son's first Christmas - at which he was 11 months old. He snuggles with Bear in his crib and while we watch Bear on Disney. He loves to watch Bear and we all love to read Bear's books.

When you press Bear's left ear he says cute phrases like, "How about a nice bear hug." and "Great bear hug." and "I smell a friend."

Cute, but...
This Bear is very cute. But, the description makes it sound like Bear talks when you hug him (although admitedly it does not actually say that). Bear actually talks when you squeeze his ear. I ordered this for our son's first birthday so squeezing the ear isn't as easy for him as hugging Bear. I'm still happy with him, I just wish I had known before ordering and thought someone else might want to know, too.

CUTE CUTE CUTE
This bear is just as cute as can be. Sounds like Bear on TV. Says familiar sayings you hear on TV show. Really cuddly. Very soft fur. Would recommend to anyone especially if your kids watch Bear in the Big Blue House. My 9mo. old grandson is getting it for Christmas so I don't know how well it will hold up but looks very well made.

Funny and lovely Bear
I think its funny looking, my girl loves it very much. ... Read more

Editorial Review

This electronic and interactive Polar Bear cub really is adorable. Covered in soft fur and measuring just over 12-inches tall in the seated position, the fun-loving bruin makes a number of different sounds depending on how you play with him. He will make slurping noises when you place the included bottle in his mouth, and start to coo and relax when you give him a hug. And if that wasn't enough, you can even make the cub giggle by tickling him in the right place. Each bear comes with its own special adoption certificate and a plastic feeding bottle. Requires 3 "C" batteries (not included), along with a Phillips head screwdriver to install or change the batteries. ... Read more

cute and cuddly
Awesom it's so(...) cute his large lower body makes him great to hug. he's the best teddy bear i've seen or hugged

MY BEAR SCHLEPP
I recived schlepp from my boyfriend for my birthday.I would like to say that I think this is a very loveable,huggable bear.My boyfriend lives in England and i in Georgia/USA and when ever I am missing him which is everyday I sit hugging schlepp and thinking of him.I would strongly recomend buying this....

Truly endearing stuffed animal
We bought a small version of this bear at Christmas when we acted as Santa for foster children through DFACS. Even before the bear was wrapped, everyone in our family had played with it repeatedly. The soft plush, the chubby body and the combination of large nose and little eyes make this toy very vulnerable and lovable. We were so sad to see it leave that my husband bought a replacement for us for Christmas! "Gundy" (I know, not very original of us) has stayed in the family room since the holidays and provides entertainment for teenagers and family alike, as we use him as a puppet to comment on everything from the primaries to the Super Bowl "wardrobe malfunction." (He hid his head in embarrassment.) Yes, even an inanimate stuffed animal can have educational value if you animate it!

This bear will make your day!
I bought this bear for my grandaughter she is 5 years old. If I had known how adorable it was I would have ordered more at the time. Everyone I showed him to fell in love with him. As I say he makes your day. He brings a smile to your face. I collect bears throughout my house. I have many. There is not one that I have that is like him. He is so soft and when you put him in your arms to hug...lookout you have never hugged anything better. It's unbelievable. No one should be without one. I will be placing another order for more right after Christmas. For myself and friends, just to make their day. It's a must just to see people smile and be loved by this bear. I hope this review helps you decide.

The best huggable bear ever
I got this bear while in the hospital, I hugged it whenever I was sad, in pain, or getting a treatment. It now sits on my bed when I'm at home, and everytime I go to the hospital it goes to me. It's even gone into surgery with me a few times. It's a great bear to hug if someone's not there. Mine has held up very well, and I haven't had to wash it. It's great for kids and adults I think. Everyone should have at least one stuffed animal, young or old, and this is the one. ... Read more

Editorial Review

Funshine Care Bear cannot believe his good fortune. He has stumbled upon a wacky land where everyone loves his jokes so much they’ve made him king! But fans of the cuddly Care Bears who have seen the Journey to Joke-a-lot video or DVD know there’s always a catch to dreams-come-true. They will love acting out the scenes with that huggable goofball, Funshine (that’s King Funshine to you!) with his gold, purple, and red crown and regal white ruffled collar. Squeeze the king’s paw and he will launch into the "Make ‘Em Laugh" song from the movie. As with most electronic toy music, the song will quickly drive grownups batty, but tots will love it and sing along to the very last note, day after day. King Funshine stands 14 inches tall and requires three AA batteries (included). --Emilie Coulter ... Read more

Huge bear gets a huge response!!
Our 2 yr old received this huge bear for a birthday party present. Everyone's jaws dropped when he entered the room. She loved to climb and hug the bear! Its good quality plush; you can't pull the fibers like many cheaper animals.

ps - I rated educational as 4. Child can name body parts and learn size relations to other toys. ... Read more

Perfect "lovey" for my 1 yr old
My 1 year old loves this bear rug. She sleeps with it every night. The great thing is that it goes in the washing machine and comes out looking just like new. It's super soft too. When it's time for bed my daughter wants to get into her crib so she can cuddle up with it, it's made bedtime extremely easy. I recommend this to anyone with a fussy sleeper, it's a great soother. I'm going to buy a second one as a backup just in case the other needs to be washed. ... Read more

change from demo mode
I read this review before and decided to buy this anyway.It took my girlfriend's seven year old daughter to figure out that it was in demo mode.Inside there is a switch for demo, off, and on.Now the bear sings the whole song.

not a good choice
it only plays segments of songs and my girls get frustrated that it won't sing a whole songi wish weknew that before we purchased it i just thought it was a demo mode for in the store
