| "My son was diagnosed with a mood disorder and ADHD. Tangle Toys have been a such a relaxer for him. They help him focus and have fun at the same time.
We have even introduced the Tangle to his therapist who has introduced them to kids with autism. He says that this toy has an amazing soothing quality. This toy and company are truly amazing, and deserve credit for helping kids find peace.

| "As an educator of pre-service teachers of special education, we have enjoyed endless activities using the huge variety of Tangle Toys. I use Tangle Toys during demonstrations and hands-on experiences within my classroom, as well as working directly with individuals with disabilities. The sensory-stimulation we gain from using these amazingly textured, brightly-colored Toys is remarkable! Thank you Tangle Toys for engineering an absolutely amazing and welcome manipulative to the world of 'education'." |

| "I just wanted to thank you for making a great product. I recently started a new job and went through a rigorous two week training session. Since much of the time was spent listening to my supervisors' instructions, my mind tended to wander. One of my coworkers let me borrow her Tangle Toy one day and I found that while playing with the toy in my hands, I was able to fully concentrate on the information that was being presented. I now feel confident at work that I will be very successful at my job! Thank you Tangle Toys!!!!" |

| "I work with children with Autism, and as I am sure you know from other testimonials, it is difficult at times to motivate them to learn. While working with one child who had a particularly difficult time finding any reinforcement in anything, I tried some pieces of a Tangle toy that I got at a McDonalds. The child was hooked. I thought, "Finally something that this child likes!" However, what I found next was even more impressive. As I looked back on the data that I had, I noticed that there was a steady increase in skill acquisition starting the same week I started using the Tangles. I began using some with other children who had various issues (not as a treatment but as a reward). Many of them immediately took to them and I noticed a dramatic improvement in the children’s behavior over time. They were calmer and better able to deal with stressors that usually sent them "over the edge". I have since been looking everywhere I could to get more Tangles of various sizes, colors, textures and shapes. I soon found that the older and more advanced kids also loved them and were highly motivated by them. It held their attention and therefore helped them with their concentration, spatial relations and problem solving skills. I cannot praise this toy enough. It is simple, effective, safe and affordable. The Tangle is a great invention and I thank you for making so many different types for all ages." |

| "I am 24 years old and have smoked cigarettes since I was 14. I've tried to quit before but with no success. I loved to smoke in the car, and while waiting for friends or when talking on the phone. I quit 16 days ago, and it went well at first with NO cheating, but then I felt my cravings intensify. I was thinking about smoking all the time. A friend suggested getting small toys to carry around with me so we went to the toy store Saturday (5 days ago). I found your mini Tangles on the shelf and bought 3 of them (one for my purse, one for the car, one for my desk at work). I started playing with one of them and went to meet friends at dinner. Wouldnt you know it? I put it down so I could eat my meal, a friend picked it up, and I never got it back! Guess it's not just me who cant put it down. I havent cheated on my smoking since I met your product. It's too hard to Tangle AND smoke at the same time while driving! Now the problem is... how do I keep my friends from stealing my Tangles from me? Also is it strange that now I feel a need to buy a few extra ones in case one of the old smoking buddies forgets that I quit and asks if they can bum a smoke? Thank you for making life easier!" |

| "My former mother-in-law is in the hospital recovering from surgery. I brought her the Therapy Tangle to help her weakened hands. It was a huge hit. She loved it, as did all her nurses who wanted to know where they could buy more.
Everyone who saw hers picked it up and played and commented on how "cool" it was. (Of course you are used to this reaction . . .) It is always hard to think of a "cheer-up" gift to bring to an elderly or physically-challenged loved one.
The Therapy Tangle is just the thing! Fun, healthful- and quite the conversation piece, besides!" |

| "Just wanted to send a quick thanks for a fun toy! I give them to friends who are trying to quit smoking and need a fidget toy, I share them with shrieking kids on the bus...they're popular with everybody. I can't wait to get a key chain tangle!" |
