Testimonial Category: Tangle Toys
| "My son was recently hospitalized for a month. During his stay we were given a tangle with textures to play with during his stay. My son has Shaken Baby Syndrome and has severe limitations. The tangle toy was great for him. His vision is limited so the textures provided great input. He has difficulty holding objects so the size/width of the toy allowed him to be able to hold it for short periods of time—something we cannot do with many toys. Moving the tangle around provided some range of motion for him. The possibilities with this toy just seemed endless. I was sad to have to leave it behind once his hospital stay was done. " |

| "During my freshman year of college, I came across Tangle Jr. in the toy department of a large retail shop. Without a second thought I immediately grabbed it from the shelf, put it with my other purchases, and proceeded to the cashier. As I left the store, I couldn't wait to rip open the tiny plastic box and unravel the marvelous simplicity it held. I didn't realize my life would be forever changed.
Four years later, Tangle is still a regular part of my life. In my apartment, we have no television-- just a couch, some chairs, and Tangles. After introducing my friends to it, I began receiving Tangles as gifts-- I have four now. One (my favorite) hangs on the rearview mirror of my car for those gridlock days; there's one on the kitchen table, one on the coffee table, and one on the mantle. When my friends visit, they ask for a Tangle.
In the stressful world of Academia, Tangling ("Tangle" is both a noun and a verb) is my source of sanity. Although Tangle offers infinite fluid motion, I tend to sculpt it into its packaged form (you know, the big coil with one loop sticking out) and then unwind it-- over and over again... like a stress ball but so much more interesting.
Nervous? Tangle. Happy? Tangle. Stressed? Tangle. Bored? Tangle. I'm convinced that Tangle may be the secret to world peace... Spread the love!" |

| "Children on the autism spectrum tend to have high levels of anxiety. I have found that giving a student a Tangle distracts them from the difficulty of the current experience that is causing them stress. Pairing this with some deep breathing and you have a recipe to calm down! While busying their hands their minds are also engaged. It is an excellent coping strategy that I am able to provide as their teacher." |

| "I wanted to you to know that I have become an unofficial spokes person. A friend of ours helped us get a bunch for our reception. which we gave to everyone and everyone thought they were great. I directed them all to your web site. We had so many extras that we started giving them out to different people we thought really needed it. We are foster parents and all our kids have one. When they go back home they take their Tangle with them. My partner and I would love to thank you for such a cool...toy, stress reliever and all round good thing. She and I even have several different Tangles. But thanks again and I will continue to tell people about Tangle." |

| "We have become fans of Tangles. I found my first one - a mini one - at the check out counter of a SportMart store in nearby Savage, MN. I became a quick fan and the next
day went back to the store to by more for the whole family. Then I went online, found the website, and placed our order. So, we have a few around the house now. In the car, attached to backpacks. By my favorite chair! Thanks for standing behind the product!" |

| "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'." |

| "Hello Tangle maniacs!!!!
I am a School Social Worker in Southfield Michigan. I use tangles everyday with my students to help them focus on daily tasks, calm down when the pressure is on and sometimes just to have fun. I also use my collection of tangles to help ease the stress of my fellow colleagues. I started the school year, two weeks ago, with a dozen tangles and I am now down to only a few. It is a daily occurrence to have teachers and administrators show up at my office looking for the little bundles of joy. My goal is to put a tangle in the hands and hearts of all my co-workers to help de-stress and remind them that toys are fun even for grownups. Thank You Tangle!!!!
