Relax with STEM Article by Tina Manzer, Editorial Director of EdPlay Magazine: Stress-reducing fidget toys, STEM, and Fractiles
Will the Real STEM Toys Please Stand Up Article by Mark Carson, President and Co-Founder of Fat Brain Toys. Fractiles is at the top of the list of Carson's favorite toys "contributing to STEM-related pursuits."
"My
eleven year old granddaughter was recently in
the hospital for surgery. The pre-op nurse,
always looking for calming and soothing activities
to help relax the children before surgery, gave
my granddaughter a set of Fractiles to play
with. My granddaughter and the other children
awaiting surgery just loved Fractiles. And it
did have a calming affect. My granddaughter
enjoyed Fractiles so much that I bought her
a set of her own. She and her cousin play with
Fractiles together for hours on end, totally
ignoring the TV!"
