Very Special Teddy Bears

Handmade Bear by Sandi Tipple at 
Tapir and Friends Animal Store

What could possibly be more comforting than a teddy bear, particularly one handmade with tender, loving care? The bears we feature on our website are extra-special; made by Sandi Tipple, many of them can be found in NICUs and pediatric cancer wards snuggling up to the littlest, most vulnerable patients. We can attest that they are highly huggable and very sweet. These bears also support a wonderful cause: proceeds go directly to help offset the cost of Sandi's cancer treatments. 

Sandi also makes chemo hats and walker caddies and some very snuggly dogs. Please visit Sandi's Corner and check out her wonderful creations!

Handmade Teddy Bears and Dogs by Sandi Tipple

We recently created Sandi's Corner at Tapir and Friends to showcase products made by Sandi Tipple in an effort to raise money for her cancer treatments. I thought her teddy bears and dogs were adorable. Sandi's husband, Kevin, has also helped create some of the educational and (when I let him) humorous text for our site. His name is not on his many category descriptions, but you can read his longer articles on these pages.
