Welcome to Dress My Bear
Create your very own personalised teddy bear by using any text, photo or artwork drawing. The Dress My Bear personalised teddy bear makes a great school fundraising idea. Children create that special artwork capturing their thoughts and creative ideas and we put those drawings on a white t-shirt and dress the bear. You can create your personalised teddy bear as a photo bear or as a message bear choosing to have text only across the t-shirt. The options are limited by your imagination alone.
Teddy bears have a special place in the hearts of many children, be it girls or boys, young or old, teddy bears have helped with a good night sleep, made children feel safe and have even taken the role of best friend. Special teddy bears are almost never thrown out and always become a keepsake, being passed on through the generation.
