Good morning, as we all know when Homeschooling, our children you become their teacher. Since all teachers receive Gifts during the Holiday’s I wanted to share our latest addition inside my Christmas Gift Guide 2021: Gifts for Families: : Fun and Function who sent me the Gifts inside the post below.
Giving teachers a calming gift is a great opportunity to show your appreciation for the hard work they put in every day. Something that says, “We can’t thank you enough for what you do for our kids and hope you enjoy this ____ at the end of the day.”

About:
Therapist designed, kid-friendly sensory tools and toys. Empowering Different. We started Fun and Function because we couldn’t find kid-friendly sensory tools that would fit our family’s needs. We channeled our frustration and turned it into a passion for creating the best sensory toys and tools on the planet. Everything we make is kid-friendly, affordable, and most importantly, makes a real developmental and therapeutic difference in the lives of children. We are dedicated to Empowering Different.
Thank you,
Glenda, Charlie and David Cates
