Everyone loves bears and what could be more special than a musical bear. After I had made my first one, it made me smile so much that I just had to make some more which have been given to friends and family. Every single one is unique, made from different fabric and with a different tune inside. Archie is the first one to go on sale, but there will be more to follow.

When he is sitting he is approximately 8 inches or 20cm

Full description

Hello, I am Archie a bear with a difference. I think most of you will agree that all bears are adorable and provide much needed love and comfort to their human friends, but how many of them sing?

Thanks to a music box which I have inside me I am able to do exactly that. All you need to do is turn the key at the back of me gently clockwise and I will start playing a tune. In my case it is the skaters waltz, a lovely little tune which we can dance to, but if you don't dance I guarantee that it will still put a smile on your face.

I am made from quality mohair fabric, completely hand sewn and have cotter joints which allow me to move my arms legs and head (perfect for dancing!). Glass eyes, a hand crafted nose and stitched mouth, give me a unique, but very adorable face. I am also wearing a hand knitted hooded jacket as it can get very cold when skating! As with all Summertree bears I have a small gold pendant attached to my belly which reads 'hand made with love', which I certainly have been.

Warning

I am looking for a new home with someone who will look after me and treat me with love and kindness. I am fairly fragile, so unsuitable to be used as a toy for young children. There are many parts of me which could fall off and become a choking hazard if swallowed. My eyes and nose are attached using wire and the cotter joints are also made using metal, so a home with a responsible person is essential. Only allow children near me with a responsible adult near by.
