Smoking Cessation:

We use Tangles to assist our quitters in our Freedom From Smoking program.  People who are former smokers often don’t know what to do with their hands without a cigarette.  Tangles help to distract them from a craving for a cigarette.  I always have Tangles on the table when they first come into class because that is when they are most anxious about quitting and Tangles helps to relieve them of their nervous energy.

I also give Tangles as a training gift for health care providers when I train them in how to perform a brief intervention for tobacco use.  I explain what an important tool Tangles can be in helping their patients who smoke to make a quit attempt.  

Thank you for this fun and useful product.

Brain Tools, ADHD & Autism in School:

I am a German teacher in The Netherlands and I work with children who are between 12 and 16 years old. http://vmbopro.thorbecke-zwolle.nl/home/ We are a regular public school for children with average (or a little less) IQ, but which are challenged in their behavior or concentration. Some of them have diagnoses (ADHD, Autism . . .) but the majority don’t (yet).

However, these are children who are very creative, energetic, honest and they speak their minds…. I just love to work with them. Since I’m a German and economics teacher, I obviously have to give them proper instruction and therefore need them to be concentrated.

What happens is, that children who lack concentration, will start to tick with their pens, try to contact the others around them, wiggle on their chair….. you get the picture. But as soon as they get their ‘extra energy tangled’ they can pay attention again.

I asked a couple of them recently, what the Tangle does for them and all of the children tell me the same: Instead of making any noise with pens or using the extra energy in a negative way, the Tangle helps them to keep their hands busy and their minds focused.

It was unbelievable how precise they were able to put their experience in words. A couple of the children also bought one for their little siblings, because they seem to know, that they struggle with the same problem.

Brain Tools in School:

“I am a big fan of Tangles! I first discovered a Tangle on Mackinac Island and have kept it on my desk ever since. In fact, I am a behavior consultant for our intermediate school district and now have a collection of Tangles to share everywhere I go.

When I provide training for teachers and other school staff, I am always sure to have Tangles on the table as “fidgets” and frequently end up giving them away since no one wants to give them back and I can’t help but want to share the fun!

I keep a supply of Tangle Jrs handy wherever I go and love to give them to students, staff, and parents. Thank you for creating such a fun, therapeutic toy to share! If I continue to be so generous with Tangles, I think I may need to beg for our administration to find a place for them in our budget!”

Improved Focus:
I don’t know the proper place to express my gratitude for your products so I’ll do it here. I love Tangle Jrs so much. I use them to help me focus when studying, to keep me entertained in line at the DMV, and during two hour lectures. I really do focus on the task at hand when I can twist a Tangle between my fingers. I only wish I had discovered Tangles before I was seventeen.

Beyond the utility of these toys, the price makes them easily affordable. When one becomes too loose, I do not feel bad for buying more, and they make fantastic and affordable gifts.

I am so glad that you guys are still providing these awesome toys.

Dermatillomania:

I am a young woman (aged 20) wishing to purchase some of your fabulous products. I am buying these products for a condition called dermatillomania or Skin Picking Disorder (SPD). The Trichotillomania Learning Centre really encourages Tangles as a therapeutic tool to prevent or control the vicious cycle of picking/pulling in a socially acceptable (and fun!) way. I have several friends who swear by them, including a very popular YouTube vlogger called Rebecca Brown.

I run and operate the café and gift shop inside the facility. We have a staff member who teaches sessions on how to quit smoking and she highly recommends your product to her patients. I said I would be more than happy to have a variety of your products on hand in the gift shop for them to purchase :)

Thank you for the quick delivery and supporting materials!

Occupational Therapy:

“I am a behavior consultant for our intermediate school district and always bring Tangles with me. Our occupational therapists are especially happy with my passion for Tangles because they are great way to meet the sensory needs of many students without creating classrooms disruptions.”

Anxiety Reduction:

“I just wanted to share my experience with your “Therapy Tangle.” I recently had an appointment for root canal. As anyone who has gone through this procedure knows this is a nerve racking experience! As I was leaving my apartment I saw the “Tangle Therapy” on my desk & decided to take it to my dental appointment. As I was sitting in the dentist chair I placed a Tangle Jr. on the dental tray & told the dentist this would bring me good energy for the procedure! I also showed him the “Therapy Tangle” & told him it was a stress reliever & it would help me get through the hour long root canal. I held onto the “Therapy Tangle” for the entire procedure & to my surprise I had no anxiety & actually fell asleep in the dental chair!! Thank you for inventing a product that really does reduce stress & anxiety situations. You have a very creative company.”

Workplace Wellness/ Occupational Therapy:

“I absolutely love the Tangle! Prior to using it, my hands and arms would start to ache after typing for extended periods of time. Thanks to the Tangle, no more pain.”

Workplace Wellness/Workplace Efficiency:

“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 co-workers 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!!!!”
