The Frog Pond Book Club Brings Books & Activities Right to Your Door

When Iricka Tully, an elementary school teacher, and Casey Breedlove, an instructional designer, couldn't find a subscription box that provided the fun, educational activities they sought for their children, they set out to create their own. The two Central Florida moms created the Frog Pond Book Club for children ages 3–9. Each month, kids receive a new book accompanied by engaging activities that focus on reading, writing, math and more.
