what people are saying about mimbleballs

“I first met Mimbleballs at the ASCA conference and immediately fell in love. They are so joyful, so calming, and I couldn't help but laugh. I am so excited to take these back to my building and see my students enjoy them as well.”

MALLORY, Elementary School Counselor

“These fluffy friends are such a thoughtful resource, and we know they will help bring comfort, ease interactions, and create positive connections with the children and families we work with.”

FLOR, Program Manager

“I wanted to share that I've used the black-haired mimbleballs as my talking piece for the restorative justice circles and dialogues I am doing this school year at my middle school. Mimbleballs have become my little icebreakers to help the students relax and it usually brings a smile to their face. They have also helped the students de-escalate by playing with its hair.”

KIMBERLEE, Middle School Counselor

"Students will come into the counselor office and sign out a Mimbleball to support them throughout the day and then return the Mimbleball at the end of the day. A few Mimbleballs have gone for some overnight stays with students to help them while away from school. Lots of times, students pick up and play with their hair during one on one sessions. Lastly, we also use them as our talking sticks when we run circles for social emotional learning."

KATHLEEN, Middle School Counselor

"I suffer from pain and swelling in my hands due to Rheumatoid arthritis.. I found that the regular old hand therapy balls are just too stiff for me to squeeze. The small size Mimbleball is just perfect for my hand therapy. It's soft enough to squeeze and provides just enough resistance. I keep one on my desk at work to use it throughout the day."

“My students (grades k-5) loved my white Mimble[ball]. They immediately gravitated to it. They loved to squeeze and pet its soft hair. Many students found petting the soft hair to be soothing. One student felt that “you could talk to them about whatever emotion you were feeling. They would walk into my room and immediately take it and stroke its hair as we talked.”

JENNIFER, Elementary School Counselor

"As a middle school counselor, I support students with a range of needs from peer issues, the death of a loved one, or mental health needs such as anxiety and depression. I have found that oftentimes, students need a few minutes to gather their thoughts before opening up. Having the Mimbleball in my office has been so helpful for my students who need something to play with before or while they speak with me. Students can not help but smile while they play with Gabe's hair, squeeze him, or toss him in the air. I feel that having a Mimbleball in my office contributes to a warm and welcoming space all students need."

ANONYMOUS, Middle School Counselor

"I ordered a few Mimbleballs to add to my collection of fidget and comfort objects. The obsession was immediate; tossing, bopping, petting, and fluffing. These little, furry friends have facilitated our practice of mindful moments. Our Mimbleballs have brought us such joy, I plan to let each new student one to put in their newcomer kit!"

COLLEEN, Teacher

"Thimble is my new favorite thing! I recently moved out of my parent's house and away from my cat and dog... I noticed that she is a great supplement for when you need a little animal to cuddle, but your apartment doesn't allow pets!"
