Petit Loup Inc. (Location: Izumisano City, Osaka Prefecture; President and CEO: Kota Osada), which plans, manufactures, and sells original teddy bears, has produced and provided 160 'Logo Bears' printed with the school name and emblem. This was done at the request of the PTA of Sagamihara City Moegidai Elementary School in Kanagawa Prefecture, which closed its 25-year history in March 2026, to serve as a closing memorial gift. It is a heart-warming keepsake that gently watches over the children's new beginnings.
■ A 25-year history comes to an end. 'Tangible Memories' connecting to the children's future
Due to school reorganization caused by the declining birth rate, Moegidai Elementary School closed at the end of March 2026 and was integrated into Sobudai Elementary School and Midoridai Elementary School. Since its opening in 2001, it has been loved by the community and has nurtured the smiles and growth of many children.
Approaching the major milestone of closing the school, the Moegidai Elementary School PTA chose our 'Logo Bears' as a commemorative gift with the wish that 'children will always be able to feel close to the precious memories they spent at school.'
■ Teddy bears engraved with the school symbol and 'Thank you'
The 160 memorial gifts presented to all students and faculty this time are palm-sized, adorable teddy bears. On the chest of the small white T-shirt they wear, the Moegidai Elementary School emblem and the words 'Thank you', 'Moegidai Elementary School', and the closing date '2026.3.25' are vividly printed.
Whether attached to a bag or displayed on a desk in their room, these teddy bears can always be kept close. The 'Thank you' message that catches the eye at random moments gently reminds them of their enjoyable school life and the bonds with their teachers and friends.
■ Carefully handcrafted one by one by artisans with dedication
The 160 teddy bears this time were carefully finished one by one by the skilled staff at Petit Loup. All of our teddy bears are original designs, born through repeated millimeter-level prototyping and modifications to pursue the ideal shape. Even in the printing process, rather than using automated machinery, dedicated staff apply the prints manually one by one, paying close attention to the bear's expression and any distortion in the T-shirt. Valuing the weight of '25 years of gratitude', we manufactured them with the warmth unique to handwork, imagining the smiles on the children's faces when they hold them.
■ 'Memories to the future!' Supporting the children's new steps
During the activities leading up to the school's closure, a large, colorful mural of a rainbow was created inside the school using the handprints of the students. On it, along with the school's mascot character 'Moenyan', is a powerful message: 'Memories to the future!'
Our company is deeply honored to have been involved in the production of such an affectionate memorial gift that, much like the message on this mural, supports the children's hopes for the future.
While carrying the sadness of leaving the school building they have cherished for many years, the children are powerfully spreading their wings toward a new environment. We sincerely hope that this small teddy bear will act as a 'lucky charm' that gently stays close to them and encourages them in their future growth.
