EDUCATION AND LEARNING

We firmly believe that education and learning are paramount for the future of our society. The Be My Teddy Bear workshop offers kids the unique experience of making their own toys while showing how eager children are to learn through play. Organized visits of kindergarten and school kids from all over Croatia are received by our staff expertly trained in child care. Since the beginning of 2006 when the first Be My Teddy Bear workshop opened its doors, we have been visited by over 5000 children. Care Bears from the Caring Earth arrived in 2005 in search of smart, courageous and environmentally aware kids; the program started in primary schools to encourage children to be brave, to learn and to take care of the environment in their own community.

Traditionally, every year for the past four years, we have awarded prizes to the most original kids. Each child is special and different, and only when we acknowledge that can we bring up children to accept community and moral values.

The "Everyone is Special" competition addresses institutions and homes for children lacking parental care. The competition opened in 2005 and in the fall of 2006 the funds will be allotted to the selected homes in the amount of 5% of the total profit from the Cabbage Patch Kids asortment sold in the past year.
