The Story of the Toy: Margarete Steiff contracted polio after suffering from a severe illness. The illness left her unable to use either leg or her right arm, marking the beginning of the young girl’s dignified struggle for survival. After graduating from tailoring school, Margarete designed an elephant-shaped pincushion. Soon, the charming little elephant, embraced by children as a toy rather than a sewing accessory, captured everyone’s imagination. In the following years, other animal figures followed the little elephant, which was produced as a plush toy. In 1903, Steiff became the first manufacturer of teddy bears in Europe.
