“...I have a five month old son and 2 year old daughter ...Anyway, I started with the first one of deep breathing, followed by the "TREE" then "FROG" and "DOG" . Not only did my daughter enjoy them but I felt better within minutes! It was also a great way for me to connect with my daughter first thing in a "quick" but fun way. She actually was doing the "FROG" exercise throughout the day til bedtime and asked if we could do our "exercises" the next day! I really enjoyed them and will put in bullets some feedback! · quick and easy to do with young children · love the layout of the cards · helps improve mood and well being · connects with your child · great directions and pics! ... · Love the rhymes (My daughter really liked listening to them...) · great way to start the day with your toddler when you have other children or can reconnect during the day in just a few minutes that will carry the child for hours later! · if some how you can conveyed for moms/dads how effective and quick they are...(One of the reasons that it took me so long was because I thought it was going to take lots of time) When I realised how quick, effective and fun they were I wanted to continue to try each exercise! · Kids love them My daughter actually started the breathing techniques on her own during the day... Below is some feedback from a teaching standpoint: · great cards- easy to understand and implement for teachers who have little time · quick and effective · great for the 20 minutes of physical exercise · great for "breathers" when a class is feeling tired, bored or needs to refocus · great to use after a vigorous phys ed class (calming) · can be connected to curriculum outcomes · enhances listening skills in children as it helps them refocus · REALLY great for young kids · can be used as an emotional teaching tool (Breathing) to calm children · requires no/little materials…”

“I just received the box set of 5 Exercise Rhymes Town Decks. My kids and I have so much fun doing the exercises and reading the clever rhymes. This is an excellent gift idea for the holidays. It is really a great way to exercise as a family!” |
|
“Well big news with the cards! I used them today in my 4 classes of teaching yoga with children with Autism and they were a hit!! The younger ones loved them the most in my opinion. I was able to get a lot more eye contact, they were very interactive with me and I was able to increase the energy of the room when it was needed and calm them down in the end. I would say I got a good work out 4 times today with the cards being used in each class. I am now trying to get the kids to get into the poses with me just saying the rhyme. I took your advice and only used the first two lines.” |

“I love Exercise Rhymes Town Deck. As a pediatric Occupational Therapist, I find it to be a perfect activity for all the children with whom I work. This is a wonderful product which facilitates upper body strengthening and control, gross motor coordination and cognitive skills such as problem solving and following directions. It is appropriate for children of all capabilities. I even use it with my own children as a fun and healthy way to spend time together.” |

“I am a mother of two young boys and a mom inventor myself. Exercise Rhymes is a fabulous product and kids love it! As I am a mom on the go... Teaching children creativity while exercising anywhere anytime with a flip of a card is great! “ |
|
“Only a creative and experienced mom could have created Exercise Rhymes. It has all the elements of learning and fun a child needs. These laminated cards encourage movement to rhymes that are engaging. I actually keep them attached to my purse and used them at Sea World this summer when the line was over an hr long. All the kids around us were the happiest kids on the block.” |
|
“Exercise Rhymes is used in my toddlers through preschool classes through out the school year. I have heard kids cite the rhymes as they practice the skills on their own and its amazing to hear them do it was such confidence. Kids have improved greatly with the gross motor skills that allow the brain to do "cross overs", which supports writing and math skills. There are many different ways to use the cards, to incorporate them in to reading, writing, and physical education standards. Ultimately Exercise Rhymes is way for teachers, parents, and caregivers to bring information off "paper" and be applied in play and skills while using multiple senses.” |
|
“I use exercise rhymes with my 2-5 year old clients all the time. The cards/rhymes really help to keep the kids focused in therapy by making it engaging and fun!" |
|
“As a mom of three and expecting one more this November, and a pediatric occupational therapist; I have used Exercise Rhymes with both my own children and the children I serve in the home and school setting. It is a fun and easy way to encorporate language and movement in any setting. I recommended it to parents with young children not only for the exercise/movement/body awareness component but also the cognitive/language/educational benefits it offers.” |
|
“This product encourages an easy and steady exercise schedule that includes fun rhymes that have really helped our son's phonological awareness. Our son benefited from using this product in his speech therapy alliteration sessions. Our son enjoys recognizing, reciting and now reading the rhymes; although it changes often, at this point his favorite Exercise Rhyme is "Eagle". We have given this product as a gift many times and the feedback has been 100% positive.” |

“We love exercise rhymes in our house. It's a fun, family activity that incorporates learning, physical activity and lots of giggles. It doesn't hurt that mommy gets a little work-out too.” |
|
“Well done Exercise Rhymes! I am a teacher in Toronto, Canada and teaching literacy is an important part of my job. Trying to get students to sit still long enough to decode words is tough, so incorporating exercise and movement is helping us immeasurably. The kids love the pictures too! |

”My daughter was diagnosed as mildly autistic 2 years ago. She often struggles to physically do the same things as kids her age. We love doing Exercise Rhymes together as a family as a form of at home physical therapy. She loves the rhymes and the exercises make her giggle and laugh while she pretends to be different animals. So much fun for the whole family!” |
|
“I have used exercise rhymes when working with toddlers. I loved using these rhymes as they are very educational and incorporated physical activity into the fun” |
