My 6 year old son loves his Christopher
Columbus bear. He calls him Chris. I read

Columbus and other explorers while his Chris
bear sits next to him. - Steve (Encinitas,

I love my Sacagawea bear. Sacagawea is a
Super Mom because she carried her son on
her back all the way to the Pacific Ocean!

My 7 year old daughter has the Thomas Alva
Edison and Ben Franklin Bears. She carries
them with her when she comes with me to
school. My wife and I teach her how to get
around on the internet by scrolling and
looking through the IMA Hero Collection
web site.

My 4 year old daughter chose the Wolfgang
A. Mozart bear because she recognized the
treble clef from her piano lessons.

When I saw the IMA Hero bears, I thought
they were cute. When I saw my 4 year old
son playing with the bears, I realized how
much he can learn from them. He takes what
he learns at home with his Galileo and Columbus
bears and connects it with what he learns
in school about the earth, moon, and sun.
