My daughter is 5 and still loves the care bears.  Her favorite bear would be Love - a - lot Bear and the Birthday Bear.  She is very loving and is always saying "I Love You" to her parents, family, and friends.  She also loves birthday parties, from picking out the gift, wrapping it, and of course going to the Party.

My daughter who is 3 just loves the Care Bears! She already had a themed birthday party that consisted of EVERYTHING Care Bears. Her costume for Halloween last year also was "Bedtime Bear"  from the Care Bears. She has a huge collection of all the Care Bears and the castle that lights up. (very cool) I know she loves all of them, but her favorite Care Bear would be "Share-a-lot".  My daughter is also very generous and shares all her toys with her brother. Even when he doesn't share with her.  I would think this is a very appropriate Care Bear for her.

My daughter Diamond Alexis would be "Sunshine Bear". Everywhere she goes she lights up a room no matter where we are at.

My three year old daughter would be Tenderheart Bear.  Her heart goes out easily to others but in return must be handled delicately.  She is friendly, compassionate, but also very sensitive to criticism or harsh words.  She comforts those who are hurting, apologizes above and beyond what is expected, and does so on her own spontaneously.

Our 2 year old daughter would most definitely be Funshine Bear.  She is silly and goofy and adorable, almost always smiling and reminding others that life is good!

I would have to make up new Care Bears for my kids. Since my oldest is a 14-year-old Girl, she would have to be Crabby Bear. My 11 year-old daughter would be Drama Queen Bear, and my 8 year old son would be Sensitive Bear!

My daughter is definaly Oopsie Bear! She matches the description perfect "Eager to help and Clumsy and says Oopsie" she even says Oopsie all the time, when she falls, or drops something or whatever.

 I never realized until this there was an Oopsie Bear but it's on the site.

Both of my children would probably be Tenderheart.  They are both sensitive in nature to themselves and others.  My daughter gets very upset with us if there is an ant or spider in the house and we squash it.  She peacefully picks them up and returns them to outside, just so they can come right back in. :).  My son is sensitive and could literally cry at drop of a dime.

My daughter picks "Love-A-Lot" bear because she "loves people, like YOU, Mommy!" Here is what we learned about that bear on the Care Bear website (She likes to do research!):

Love-A-Lot Bear is a pretty and perky bear who helps spread love and help it along wherever she goes. She is pink and her tummy symbol is two intertwined hearts. 

 She says that her little brother would be "Grumpy Bear"! 

My 10yo daughter is a cross between Funshine Bear with her friends and older brother, and Grumpy Bear with us, her parents!  Yikes!

 

My son would be SunShine Bear. He lights up the room everywhere he goes. He has this charisma that calls everyone's attention doesn't matter if he is on the train or walking by he will make you smile.

I still have my pink Love-A-Lot care bear since I was a child.  It's still in good condition, too.  My son would pick this care bear because he loves his family lots and he knows I like this care bear, too.  He likes to follow in mommy's footsteps.

Hi, I'm Narcisa

My daugther Donna would be a SUN CARE BEAR, because she always shines and brights, and wherever she goes, she gives a lot of love.

 

Thank you.

P.D. Donna's birthday will be tomorrow.
