A teddy bear for a 2 year old is a very popular present. All children should have a teddy bear that they can treasure forever. Unlike most toys, teddies are likely to be kept into adulthood and passed down the generations. There are plenty of cheap teddy bears around which, sadly, have lost the nostalgia value of more traditional teddies. Here’s my guide to buying a good quality traditional-looking teddy bear for 2 year old children. I have included teddies suitable for all budgets and price ranges.

Under £15 – Gund Philbin Teddy Bear

Gund Philbin Cream Teddy bear (Large) Toy Amazon.co.uk Kitchen & HomeGind Philbin produce a range of traditional-looking teddy bears for surprisingly low prices. They typically cost less than £15 on Amazon and are available in dark brown or cream. There are also small/medium and large versions of this teddy bear, at either 33cm or 45cm tall.

Suitable for children aged 12 months and over, these teddy bears are safe for 2 year olds to play without any small parts. They’re well stuffed and sit up nicely – great for cuddles.

If you look closely then this teddy bear isn’t quite as well made as the more expensive ones in this article. However it’s very popular and will delight any 2 year old. Given the price, the reviews on Amazon are fantastic and these teddy bears are loved by 2 year olds and parents alike.

£15-£40 – BabyRice ‘Sherwood’ Teddy Bear

BabyRice New Baby Boy or Girl Gift Soft & Cuddly Traditional Style Brown Teddy Bear 'Sherwood' 28cm Amazon.co.uk Toys & GamesThe BabyRice Sherwood Teddy Bear is a fairly modest size, at 28cm tall. This is a traditional-looking brown teddy bear suitable for 1 year olds, 2 year olds and older children.

This teddy bear has slightly curly hair to make him look more cuddly and traditional. He has a shiny brown bow round its neck.

He has a really cute expression on his face, which will appeal to children.

He’s the sort of teddy that a child would keep forever, without taking up all the space in your house.

This teddy bear is described as being a gift for newborns. I think this is a bit strange since it’s labelled as being for 1 year olds and above. It’s much more suitable for toddlers and 2 year olds, not newborn babies.

£50-£200 – Don’t bother

There are lots of teddy bears available in the £50-£200 price range. However they don’t tend to be for 2 year olds – the ones I’ve seen tend to be vintage teddy bears not suitable for children. I would either go for one of the better teddy bears in the lower price ranges (featured above) or a really special designed teddy bear that is labelled as being suitable for 2 year olds.
