Testimonials
My patients and I have enjoyed creating farm scenes and stories together and practicing early literacy skills with the clear, easy to read labels! I have been appreciative of the easy handling (great handle and zipper) and durable fabric. This is a great product which bridges natural play into structured learning effortlessly!

As therapists working in a pediatric environment, we truly enjoy our products from Pacific Kid. The developers do a terrific job in creating learning tools that are visually eye-catching and kid-appealing to play with as they are working on increasing their fine motor abilities. The “Zippers, Buttons, & Bows” book along with “My Quiet Book” are great tools to gather our children’s attention while working on activities of daily living and visual motor skills during play. Pacific Kid provides a wide variety of age-appropriate activities and items to fit the needs of our many patients.

It is essential for a child’s development to interact in creative play with their parents and the people they trust. In this age of technology, children still need to rely upon tactile and one-on-one stimulation in order to understand the complexity of the world around them.
As a child, I vividly recall being read to by my parents and grandparents. These experiences forced me to use my imagination in order to crystallize the stories and their characters’ in my mind. In this age of mass communication, we frequently deprive our children of the opportunity to create their own fantasies.
There is no question that if we limit our children’s access of interactive play to computer medias, it will deprive them of those essential tools necessary for cognitive and emotional development. I shudder to think what our society might become if we continue to raise our children with electronic media as their primary interactive stimulation, as this tends to lead to isolation and the inability to interact socially with their peers.
"Pacific Kid" is one of few companies dedicated to maintaining interactive play between children and their caregivers. I am grateful that (in this age of mass communication) some companies still work hard in order to give children the opportunity to develop their interactive personal skills and stimulate their imagination at the same time.

I used your Animals World with my most difficult severely autistic class on Monday. Amazingly, the felt icons kept their attention for more than 25 minutes!! Usually, I'm lucky to engage them for 5 minutes. I LOVE your products and am spreading the word!
