Pull. Climb. Smile.
Pull one loop, then the other, and watch MilliBear make its way up the strings. Simple mechanics. Instant little grin.
One Million Bears. One Million Smiles.
A small toy with a million-pound dream.
MilliBear began with a simple idea: make a toy that climbs, smiles and gives back. £1 from every bear sold goes to charity, with the aim of raising £1 million for good causes.
Joy you can hold
A tactile wooden toy made for screen-free play, curious hands and that lovely “again!” moment children do so well.
Small bear, big impact
Every sale helps the mission grow. One bear feels small. A million bears can do something rather wonderful.
How MilliBear climbs
No batteries. No screens. Just a bear with ambition.
MilliBear works with a simple climbing motion. Little hands pull each loop in turn, and the bear makes its way up the strings. Let go, and down it slides, ready to climb again.
It is nostalgic, tactile and easy to love — which is more than can be said for most toys that require a screwdriver before breakfast.

Pull left
Start the climb with one gentle pull on the loop.
02
Pull right

03
Smile, reset, repeat
