Busy Bear Hidden Image Playing Cards featuring Teddy Bears
Description
A "Busy Bear" deck of HIDDEN IMAGE playing cards from playing card artist, Peter Wood. This deck takes Teddy Bear decks to a whole new "hidden image" level with each "Busy Bear" being shown in various types of work uniforms and work settings. A fun deck for teddy bear fans and card collectors alike. This cool deck of playing cards features teddy bears in fun "career" positions or occupations like a UBS Bear (parcel delivery driver), firefighter, truck driver, farmer, housewife, dentist, zoo keeper, doctor, forest ranger, librarian, construction worker and so much more.
The basic scoop is when you look at each card face and find the hidden suits or pips (clubs, diamonds, spades and hearts). The deck plays like a normal deck of cards, but we have hidden the images on the card faces to add a new dimension. For example, if you look at the 6 of hearts you will find 6 hearts actually hidden on that particular image! Grab the 3 of clubs and you will find 3 clubs hidden in the image. The hidden images add a nice twist to any deck of cards.
ABOUT THIS TYPE OF ART:
This type of art isn't really new as it has been around since the late 1800s. We just love this type of art so much that we continue to create more decks with it. In the "old days" this type of art was called "semi-transformational" but we call it "hidden images". "Semi-transformation" just means that the suit signs or "pips" are hidden in the picture...which is exactly what these decks do. They are 'transformed' in a subtle and fun way just like they did in the late 1800s.
Are you good enough to find all of the hearts, clubs, diamonds and spades?
ABOUT THE DECK:
This fun deck of playing cards features teddy bears in various uniforms and work situations. The cards are poker sized (2-1/2" x 3-1/2") and can be used for all your standard card games. This is just a normal deck of playing cards with custom faces and "hidden images" to add to the fun.

What is the Difference between Bridge and Poker Sized Playing Cards?
Often times the size of a playing card is referred to as a "narrow" or "wide" deck of cards. While the narrow/bridge decks (2-1/4" x 3-1/2") are called "bridge" size, the wide/poker decks (2-1/2" x 3-1/2") are called "poker" sized.
FACT: BOTH sizes are usable for any normal card game as they are really just normal decks that are a different width. So it really doesn't make any difference which size deck you choose.
OTHER THOUGHTS:
- It is said that the bridge sized decks were made for the "ladies" so that it was easier to hold.
- Often times the bridge or narrow sized decks do make it easier to hold more cards in your hand.
- In the U.S. the "poker" sized are considered the "normal" size.
- In pretty much the rest of the world, the "bridge" sized cards are considered the "normal" size.
Again, please remember that you can use the "bridge" or "poker" sized decks for pretty much any card game. The only difference is one is a 1/4" narrower than the other.
Other Sizes...
Some times we offer various other "sizes" of playing cards. They may be "enlarged" or larger than normal decks or they may also be smaller than normal decks.
Another varience on the "size" would be what we call "shaped" cards. The shaped cards have taken various shapes over the years and change in popularity. They do offer a nice change of pace to a normal deck of cards.
