„We met Gingo at our speech therapist and also ordered him from you. Now learning is more fun because we just repeat after him and have fun with him. My son says that Gingo rocks, not only for exercise but also for sleeping. Every morning, when he gets up, he immediately covers Gingo up and lets him sleep for a bit longer so that later he is rested and ready for mischief.“

Mother of Lina (4 years old)

„Gingo has a great time with us in kindergarten. We even sent him to the seaside!“

Ana Tkalec, speech therapist

„We really enjoy our time with Gingo, my son is also keener to participate now, so we hope that his speech gets better as soon as possible. Thank you again, we will continue to follow you. On your site, there is a lot of useful advice and suggestions on how to help your child, which makes it easier for us parents to work with our children at home.“

Mother of Adam (3 years old)

„Definitely one of the best children’s books!“

Coolmamacitaa

„Hello, I just wanted to tell you that we got our Gingo and now our younger daughter doesn’t let him out of her hands. Mom is not allowed to use it as a doll at all. He goes to sleep with us, goes for a walk with us, he is basically always with us. Our older daughter (4 years) likes him too, especially the exercises on the cards, therefore we practice, when her little sister is sleeping. Gingo is a great idea!“

Mother of Klara and Ajda

„Thank you for an amazing book. You really make great products!“

Tea, Mother
