 RATIONALE

Stuffed toys are the most common plaything to children ages 2 to 12 years old. They will

also consider it as their "best friend", they’ll give it names, play with it, eat with it, and even sleep

with their stuff toys. Teddy Bears are the most common stuffed toy. Being a best friend to a child

is the mission of teddy bears, but what if, children can also learn from teddy bears?

The most common thing to teach to toddlers until pre-school is how to differentiate colors.

3 out of 10 children cannot differentiate colors. Some children do not have any apparatus to teach

them what color they are looking at on a daily basis. So, this project will allow them to have a best

friend teddy bear at the same time it can teach them how to comprehend colors.
 STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM

Most children ages 2 to 5 years old are difficult to teach basic colors with because in this

stage of childhood, they seldom talk or not at all. With this, children cannot pronounce words

properly.

For this problem, we propose a project that will allow a teddy bear toy to be a teacher to

children that can teach them colors and pronunciation at the same time a best friend they can

play with.
