Play back over 50 years with Blue Ted, the plush bear from 1970’s Hampton. Raised on gum trees and footy cheers, did his makers love inspire something wonderful? Blue Ted is a soft blue teddy bear plush from 1970s Melbourne, echoing the handmade gifts lovingly crafted by grandparents and passed down through generations.

Born one sunny afternoon in Nanna Noras Hampton home, he comes from a time when colour telly was brand-new and biscuits cooled on wire racks.
