What’s the Fundanoodle buzz?

“he normally complains when I get out writing tablets to do letters, but with the ones in the kits he was happy to do them because you get to pick out a sticker that matches the letter and he thought that was neat and felt like he accomplished something.”

–April B., parent of a five year old son

“I love the Muscle Mover Cards. I use them as a whole class activity every day. each day we read 2-3 cards. talk about the letter, the letter sound, the animal and then do the action on the card. I have 22 children in my first grade class and they absolutely love the cards. I will definitely use the cards every year.”

–Pam S., 1st Grade Teacher

“I have high hopes that parents will latch on to your products and “unplug” their preschoolers for some developmentally challenging fun!”

–Rachel H., Occupational Therapist
