Love these stickers! We printed off pictures of family members, laminated them, then put a sticker on the back of each. Each family member then records stories or messages for our kiddo, so they can select who they want to hear a story from and just tap the sticker on the Storypod. Has been amazing for long distance family member and when our kid wants Grandma or Grandpa to read them a bedtime story on repeat while they drift off to sleep.

This set helped immensely when we were working through big emotions with our kids. With a recent move and changes to the kids schools, there were a lot of things to navigate with my 2 eldest. I'm grateful we had these. Social stories also helped set the stage for open discussions afterward and explained emotions to the kids in a fun and engaging way.

This is one of the first board books my daughter read and enjoyed, so we just had to get this Token when it came out. It doesn't disappoint. It's produced well and my little girl reaches for it whenever she wants her favorite stories retold.

We regularly rotate our Crafties, books and Tokens every month. It works best to keep the kids' attention and rediscover old favorites while checking out new ones. But for the past few years, we bring out the Santa Claus Craftie while spending some quality time with the family over the holidays. We brought him out November this year because the kids were too excited!

Manu Monkey is one of our favorite Crafties. The songs aren't your typical nursery rhymes and that's what makes it so great. Aside from being well produced, the songs just hit differently. What I appreciated the most as well with this set is the book which is a good introduction to emotions. It's easy to read and the concepts are there. A must-have to eventually teach kids self regulation.
