I remember as a child in daycare watching fairy tale movies that had an opening of kids going up to an attic and having a stuffed bear come to life and they would open this old book and it would tell them a story. I've been trying to Google it for forever and can't find it at all. Please remember!!

I believe you are referring to the old Hallmark stories.
There were Rumplestiltskins, Puss in Boots, Rapunzel, and more. They were each about 30 minutes long.

"Timeless Tales from Hallmark" (1990) (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0444586/)

Please let me know if this is it... :)
They were movies I watched as children too, I could enjoy a connection!

EDIT: Sure that is it, found a YouTube video with the opening you described:
