1997 Expressly for Teacher (Bear)

This 1997-edition ornament from Hallmark features a small teddy bear riding on a whimsical paper-airplane made of notebook-sheet style material, clutching a bright red apple as a nod to teacher appreciation. The bear is painted in soft brown tones, the airplane in white with blue-lined “paper” detailing, and the apple provides a vivid contrast—making the piece both playful and meaningful. Designed to celebrate the role of a teacher and the idea of learning taking flight, it makes an ideal gift for an educator or collector of thematic ornaments. With its compact size and collectible appeal (released 1997, SKU QX6375), it fits well into school-themed displays, teacher recognition collections or classic Keepsake lines.
