Just Right for That Special Young Someone

Looking for the ultimate gift to spark imagination and self-expression for a child with adaptive needs this holiday season? Look no further. PunkinFutz, an innovative company that designs and produces award-winning therapeutic play products has the perfect solution.

The company partners with occupational therapists, parents, designers and children to develop and test its products. All original PunkinFutz products are manufactured in the United States by adults with disabilities in supportive workplaces. Purchasers can be proud knowing that their thoughtful gifting supports a vital social mission.

"From perfect stocking stuffers to the 2019 Top Toy Award winning PunkinPlaySpace, these accessible products unleash the power of play for every child," says PunkinFutz CEO and founder, Lisa Radcliffe, "while the company's adaptive workforce positively models that child's future."

PRODUCTS DESIGNED WITH FIDGETING IN MIND

Imagine the endless possibilities with the company's line of PunkinFidgets. Its PomPoms provide multiple options for sensory interaction, including catch and release, hand and upper extremity exercise, calming and focus. These colorful cartwheel-shaped items come in large and small sizes and are ideal for quiet environments – the car, theater or classroom.

For sensory-seekers, the Scratchy Squares are the first scratchy fidget ever sold. Sized to fit in small hands with slight weight to work either with the PunkinHug compression vests or on its own, they help support focus, calm and self-control.

The brightly colored Marble Maze has engaging textures that can be also be used on its own or paired with the vest. The maze supports focus, helps to increase hand and finger strength, and builds fine motor skills.

ACCESSORY BAGS IN BOLD, BEAUTIFUL SHAPES AND COLORS

If a child is on the move, then the PunkinPie is ideal. These patented, trendy accessory bags carry inhalers, wallets, ID cards, cellphones, EpiPens – anything they may need to keep close at hand. Designed especially for wheelchairs, PunkinPies will also work on walkers, scooters, strollers, bicycles and carts for the coolest ride on the block. They are water resistant; highly reflective, using fabrics created for the US Military and first responders; ensure easy access with pull zippers and Velcro straps; and are durable and washable to make for easy cleaning and use. The options of colors and patches make them a personalized expression for every child's style.

Nearly 20 percent of U.S. children have physical, developmental, sensory and/or emotional disabilities – affecting approximately one out of five or 8.2 million American children between the ages of 4 and 12.1 PunkinFutz is creating products specifically for this underserved population, because research shows creative play is a powerful development tool for children with disabilities.

"As the mother of two children with adaptive needs, I am inspired every day to make a positive difference for them and for others," says Radcliffe. "PunkinFutz employs a fully adaptive workforce and produces the highest quality products that fulfill multiple therapeutic goals. We use universal design, so our products can be enjoyed by children of all abilities."

The company is the recipient of 11 toy industry awards in three years for its innovative products. Products range in price from $12.00 to $85.00 and can be purchased online at http://www.PunkinFutz.com.

"If you're looking for an intentional gift, PunkinFutz products have value on many levels," adds Radcliffe.
