"I've just ordered your toy on recommendation from a friend suffering from breast cancer. She swears it gets her through the ordeal of chemotherapy, and I'm hoping it will do the same for me. What a great, simple idea!"

"I have to say that your Tangle Toy is the reason I made it through quitting smoking. It was the perfect hand toy to keep my hands entertained. Thank you for such a great toy. Any plans for maybe joining up with American Cancer Society to help with the Great American Smoke Out or something like that?"

"Just wanted to let you know that I picked up a Tangle Jr. on a whim because I was using a hair band as a distraction during my therapy appointments. Although the hair band worked okay, the Tangle is great. It gives me something to do with my hands while I talk about very painful issues from my childhood. I leave it at my therapist's office so I don't lose it between appointments. I love my Tangle and find it very soothing. Thanks for making a toy that is fun, helpful, and theraputic!"

"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. "

"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!!!!"

"The first Tangle I ever saw was in a free box at a garage sale. A small unassuming but colorful little interesting item. I picked it up and felt something wonderful. It reminded me of when I was a child and had pop beads. They were beads that you could take apart and put back together and spend hours and hours making different color combinations and wear them. I immediately took the Tangle home, washed it, and gave it to my 28 year old son who has a progressive degenerative neurological disease. He is in a wheelchair, non-verbal, and has limited movement with his hands. He grabbed the Tangle between his fingers and proceeded to manipulate it for hours at a time. It is his only toy. Thanks so much for creating this wonderful item."

"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'm just emailing to thank you for the generous donation of mini-tangle toys. They will be put to good use at the first annual meeting of the New Jersey QuitNet Club. The toys are great tools for keeping your hands and minds busy and will be just the ticket for all former smoker attendees to keep them from both lighting up and or gambling their souls and fortunes away.... In all seriousness, the mini tangle I have is a very effective tool for smoking cessation for me personal. It might be worth investigating further tangle's potential use as a stop-smoking tool."
- Kim
"I got one of the Tangle Toys via a stop smoking link. It really is working for me in more ways than one. Not only does it take my mind of lighting that cigarette, it also provides fun for the whole family in making shapes and getting others to guess what they are. I am holding tight onto this as my three grandchildren have already tried to take it home. I do not mind sharing it but I am keeping it as it is through this I am staying off smoking. "

"I am currently working in a Nicotine Dependence Program helping people quit smoking. I have used stress balls and etc...in my groups...but recently ordered a Fiddle Diddle Box through Trainers Warehouse out of Natick,MA which had the fiddle key chain. My clients have loved them! They are easy to manipulate with one hand and believe it or not have helped in the recovery process from those who are quitting smoking. Some of the behaviors of handling the cigarettes are some of the toughest obstacles to overcome and manipulating the fiddle product has seriously helped. They like the small version which can be manipulated with one hand. I am surprised at how taken everyone is with them! ... My clients love them!"
