Digital Overload Rewires The Brain
“They enter classrooms expecting the same kind of excitement they get from a screen. When they don’t get it, they disengage. That’s when we start to see attention disorders.”
The dopamine surges children receive from digital content alter the reward system in the brain. “Screens program the brain to seek fast and frequent rewards. Real-life learning doesn’t work like that—it’s often slow, cumulative and requires effort. But when kids get used to being rewarded instantly, they lose motivation for slower, more meaningful tasks.”
THE SOOTHING POWER OF SPIN
WhirlyGoRound turns tough moments into calm and focus—helping kids channel energy and ignite imagination. A teacher shared, “It settled kids and boosted their attention during cleanup.”
Give your child a joyful way to shine through each day.
Physical Benefits
WhirlyGoRound gets kids moving, strengthening core, back, and hips while boosting balance. Kids love it because it fuels their growing bodies, helping them play longer and sit still better.
Cognitive Benefits
Every spin sharpens focus and thinking, helping kids track objects and stay engaged in class or play. Kids thrive on this motion that sparks their developing minds.
Emotional Benefits
Spins foster joy and calm, lifting spirits with endorphins. Kids feel more settled, managing big feelings and finding peace at home or school.

CLASSROOM REPORT
“Every child wanted to try WhirlyGoRound!” says Kristin, “Kids self-selected it during free play, and some used it daily for movement breaks. We started using it before and after cleanup time—it settled the kids and sharpened their focus, making tasks easier.”

TAKE THE CAMPING TEST
Unplug and head into the great outdoors! Taking your kids camping—without digital devices—is a powerful way to see if they can truly have fun, spark their imaginations, and enjoy leisure time. A device-free adventure in nature reveals whether they’re reliant on screens for entertainment or ready to embrace the wonders of the wild and their own imaginations!.
Physics is Fun!
WhirlyGoRound’s magic comes from physics! Kids shift their center of mass to spin, harnessing gravity for thrilling rotation. This bamboo spinner isn’t just fun—it’s a playful way to spark a love for science, just like Chuck Knerr’s Wham-O® experiments.
Fostering development of children's God-given abilities through physically active play.
