Kenner was also famous for the Care Bear line of toys, books and plush bears and bear cousins. The original bears and their cousins, from the early 1980s, were machine washable and driable if slipped into a pillow case first. They all had a red hard plastic heart on their tushes that read, "Care Bears" or "Care Bear Cousin". They were between 12 and 13 inches tall and had embroidery on their bellies to identify which one they were.

These are just a few: Love-A-Lot Bear, Good Luck Bear, Cheer Bear, Funshine Bear, Care-A-Lot Bear, Birthday Bear, Grumpy Bear, Tenderheart Bear, Friend Bear, Make-A-Wish Bear, Bedtime Bear, Secret Bear, Share-A-Lot Bear, Grama Bear and Champ Bear. Baby Hugs and Baby Tugs were smaller, 6", versions. The cousins were other animals such as Brite Heart Racoon, Proud Heart Cat, LOTS-A-HEART ELEPHANT, GENTLE-HEART LAMB, SWIFT-HEART RABBIT, and COZY-HEART PENGUIN. This list is not complete.

The Care Bears was a television show that taught social ettiquite. The Care Bear name was copywrited by American Greetings.

Care Bears were reissued in the 1990s but not by Kenner.
