Bear Hugs is designed to "hug" the child that holds him. His arms will wrap around the child's neck and his face will press against the child's cheek, bestowing a little kiss.

He is in a playful pose, and can easily play pattycake or peek-a-boo. You may also want to make Bear Hugs' friend Dolly Hugs, who especially likes to hug little girls.

Bear Hugs was designed by Antonette Cely for the children of abused women who seek shelter at Amity House, and for the abused, neglected, homeless and runaway children who are sheltered at Harbour Home. Both of these houses are in Brunswick, Georgia, which is on the mainland near Jekyll Island. You can download the pattern for Bear Hugs and copy it as much as you like, as long as you do not make the bears for sale.

Bear Hugs is designed to be used as a gift to children in need. That may be your own child, or a friend's child. But Bear Hugs must never be used to make bears for profit. The pattern is copyrighted to prevent anyone from selling the pattern for profit.

Bear Hugs will remain on the web for anyone to make a bear from him. My sincere wish is that those who do make him will give generously to the children around the world who are tired, poor, scared, insecure, and desperately in need of someone to love them.*

I hope you will feel inspired to make this quick and easy bear and give her to a child for Christmas, Hannukah, Kwanzaa or just because you care.

If you would like a copy of Bear Hugs, and you can't download the pattern just send me a STAMPED, SELF-ADDRESSED ENVELOPE, and I'll rush you a copy. Please let me know how you plan to use the pattern, too.
