Glo Pals products are designed with the belief that playtime is the best time to learn. The technology behind the toys was originally created for a classroom project at Mississippi State University, and was taken from a student project to a start up by the University’s E-Center. Inspired and ideated to help a child with autism during bathtime,Glo Pals have evolved to aid in early childhood development by engaging children with interactive technology while encouraging imaginative play. A portion of every Glo Pals purchase is donated to Children’s Hospital of Mississippi, the state’s only children’s hospital. Visit glopals.com for more information.
