“Most people remember what they've experienced much more than what they've heard.  Using Toobeez in trainings catches people's attention and puts them at ease, allowing participants to fully engage in learning.  Toobeez gets people into action - not just thinking or talking about communication or leadership, but out of their seats creating, communicating and leading.”  Abigail R. Kies, MBA and Founder of Play To Win Coaching


"Toobeez work because they get a group immersed in the fun aspects of a task.  As a result, their true tendencies emerge.  Through post activity discussion and reflection, people can truly see their behaviors, other people's strengths, and how all of it affects the team.  Toobeez are an effective tool for engaging the group and creating learning.”  Michelle Tillis Lederman, CPA, MBA, CEC and Founder of Executive Essentials


“We use Toobeez to teach and reinforce teamwork, business process flow, communication, strategic planning, interdependency, and collaboration.  The activity materials clearly explain the many team building activities.  We often take the suggested exercises and tailor them to meet the specific objectives of a particular session.  Toobeez are a great value.”  Angela Melancon - Strategic Designs for Learning, Colorado Springs, CO


“When we first saw this engaging product we were intrigued by its potential as a teambuilding training aid. Toobeez clearly meets the tough guidelines imposed by trainers and facilitators of experiential learning. We were amazed by its solid construction and simplicity. We plan on using Toobeez for many years to come.”  Peter Grazier - President, Teambuilding, Inc. Chadds Ford, PA


“One of my passions is gaining a better understanding on how the brain learns, and your activity books included up to date brain strategies. The books were very teacher-friendly and I was able to instantly incorporate the activities into my presentations and lessons. I have contacted 3 other principals and 18 other Teachers in my school system about your products.”  Kim Cooke, Walter Bickett Elementary School - Monroe, NC


"What we really like about the toy is that it really encourages adults and children to play together. When parents and children are playing and working together, they are going to learn together. That’s our goal – to have fun and to learn.”  Jennifer Bush, Gallery Program Manager at the Please Touch Museum


Victoria Anderson, M.Ed., an upper-elementary educator based in New Jersey, “The Toobeez program provides activities that challenge each participant, regardless of their learning style, while engrossing them in fun-filled, team building activities. Toobeez are very useful at getting kids involved in a hands-on, exploratory learning environment. Best of all, they can be used by various departments within a school, from Mathematics to Language Arts, and even special needs classes.”


The kids "ATE IT UP", as the saying goes! Our kids are a mixed population from 12 - 17 yr. olds who are severely emotionally challenged, and their diagnoses can be greatly varied. Our goal is to make school here as positive and successful an experience that we possibly can.  We split the kids into two groups. I stood a large mat on its side, so that they couldn't see each other's ideas. I simply asked them to "build a house". They INSTANTLY kicked into cooperation mode. They were communicating, sharing ideas --- you could almost hear their minds working. I was flabbergasted!"  Mike Parsons, Experiential Educator, Barboursville School, Barboursville, WV


“In our assisted living facility, our residents really enjoy using the Toobeez. They offer a good balance between clinical therapies and fun. We also allow the Grandchildren to play with them when they come for a visit."  Rhonda Jacobson, Activity Director, Willow Manor Care, Phoenix, AZ
