Feedback from families<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Mum Kelly, who applied for a NogginStik gave the verdict from her son Lawrence:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“We have a very happy little boy. Lawrence received his NogginStik and book today. He is 22 months old and has spina bifida, hydrocephalus and chiari malformation II. Lawrence had in-utero surgery at 26 weeks and was born via c-section at 37 weeks. Thank you so much for your support, you do an amazing job. Lawrence is starting to enjoy books and will love learning his phonics and playing with his NogginStik.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Aadyn is three years old and autistic non verbal sensory seeking boy. He absolutely loved the NogginStik. Thank you so much.”<\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

NogginStiks in action…<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Here are just a few more of the wonderful photos families shared with us of their children playing with the NogginStik. Children love the rattle sound and lights and parents find it suits children’s sensory needs. Thank you Smart Noggin Toys for giving families a rare breather during busy days caring for their little ones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
