WHAT OUR CUSTOMERS SAY

Product testimonials

Bedford's Busy Bees

“Oh I love this resource! There are so many different options and possibilities of uses for it! I printed and laminated only some of the pages so far, and my student I made the binder for feels so proud of himself because he can do a lot of the work independently and it meets IEP goals! AND I love that you included multiple fonts. That’s incredibly valuable! Great product!”

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Abigail H.

“I love these and so do my students! They are an affordable way to have adapted books for literacy and math in preschool. I appreciate that two pages fit in a laminating sheet to save space. My only complaint is that the corners are rounded on the pieces, which takes a lot more time to cut out than if they were square. Thank you for the great, affordable resource!”

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Music with Ms. Wedding

“I primarily used these manipulatives with PreK and my special education classes. I can not recommend these enough! The graphics are adorable and it was clear that thought and care were put into each one. My students and I particularly enjoy the Itsy Bitsy Spider variations (they LOVE the teeniest spider!). My special education students showed more engagement and understanding when we used these manipulatives, and it was extremely easy to tie in core words and student responses while using these. Thank you for this great resource!”

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Jennifer L A.

“Many of my students have IEP goals which state they will be able to name and identify numbers to 50. This is such a life saver, so I do not have to recreate something else from scratch. I think they are going to enjoy the activities. They will have fun while learning and there is nothing more fun than that!”

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Angela H.

“I use this resource during my math centers for my students to work on their shapes. It not only shows the shape on each page, but also a cartoon picture of an item that they would see around the classroom or at home. My students have been engaging with these books each day and have demonstrated that they have grown in their ability to identify shapes.”
