Number 1
In medieval times, it was believed that when baby bear cubs were born, they were formed as a shapeless lump of bear, and that the baby would need to be 'licked into shape' by its mother - which is where the expression ..."he needs to be licked into shape" comes from

Number 2
Tickling bears in a shop full of toys is easy - all you need to do is tickle the first one you see and then that bear will pass it on to the one he is sitting next to, and that bear will pass it on, and on, and on, etc. If you want some real fun and to cause a bit of mischief, tickle one bear, then move on round the shop and tickle another and so on, then you start a Mexican Wave of teddy tickles, which although it is not obvious to the casual observer, is quite a bit of fun for the bears!
