Fun and Function Review & Giveaway

I grew up in a house with my aunt who has Downs Syndrome. I also have a young brother-in-law who is only eight and he is autistic. So I have some experience with special needs children. I also know how hard it is to shop for a special needs child. You want to get them something they will enjoy but that will also help them overcome their difficulties. At Fun and Function, they have dozens of wonderful toys that are designed with special needs children in mind. They will help them learn balance, sensory and motor skills, sleep help, early learning and more.

For our review, I received one of the wonderful Peanut Ballls which we picked out for my brother in law. He is a little camera shy so we used Willow as a model for our picture. But the peanut ball was actually lots of fun for all the children. My older kids loved sitting on it as a chair, the baby loved being held up to bounce on it, and eventually, even my brother in law warmed up and started to play on it.  We were able to inflate the ball in minutes and the air stayed in even with lots of kids bouncing on it. Its a great way for all children, whether they have special needs or not, to get some exercise and improve their balance.

Fun and Function has hundreds of wonderful toys, and while their main goal it to provide fun and affordable toys for special needs children, they have many wonderful items that every child can enjoy. One of their newest items is their "Guess How I Feel Game" which is a great way to teach younger children how to express their emotions. Right now they are offering shipping for a flat rate of only $6 no matter how much you order so its a great time to stock up for birthdays and holidays.

One lucky winner is going to receive a Peanut Ball just like the one that I received to review. To enter, visit Fun and Function and tell me another item you would love to have.
