Alphabet SQUIGGLE wins a NAPPA Award


RandomLine is proud to announce that Alphabet SQUIGGLE won a National Parenting Publications Awards.

Alphabet SQUIGGLE is a fun, educational board game that introduces letters to kids in a clever new way. Kids will learn and improve letter recognition, stimulate their imagination and strengthen their vocabulary. Children who are just learning letters and those who already know them will enjoy playing. Watch how surprised they get when they see how much they can do with letters.

Players move along the pencil path of letters. For every letter a player lands on, that player must find the letter on the outside edge of the board and either trace it or write it from memory on the sketch paper provided. If they're feeling creative, they can turn their letter tracing into a picture, write a word that begins with that letter, or create a drawing that begins with and reinforces that letter.

It’s simple, fun and engaging.

RandomLine Hits The Road Script Style



Morris Plains, N.J. - RandomLine continues to build its award-winning on-the-go brand with the introduction of Alphabet Squiggle on-the-go Script Edition. Computers are taking over the classroom, leaving students with less time to practice a very important life skill. Handwriting! In a time where many students are losing touch with their individuality when it comes to hand writing, Alphabet Squiggle on-the-go Script Edition offers an introduction to learning how to write in cursive. Students who can write at an early age can express themselves better. Why cursive? Latest research reports that students who remain printers, rather than writing in cursive, need more time to take notes or write essays for the SAT. Even though handwriting is thought not to count, SAT essays written in cursive had slightly higher average scores than those written in print, according to the College Board.
"I often find that once students begin using cursive, they struggle less with getting their thoughts and ideas out on paper. I also notice improvements in spelling when students write in cursive" said Sandy Tichenor, a 3rd grade school teacher at Glenwood Elementary in New Jersey.
Parents, grandparents, teachers and friends looking for an activity to inspire children to begin writing early need not look any further than Alphabet Squiggle on-the-go Script Edition. RandomLine has put a fun spin in Alphabet Squiggle on the go Script Edition with a colorful wheel with both upper and lower script letters. Spin the wheel and choose a letter. After the child writes her letter, she may then create a word or picture from that letter. The entire script alphabet is on the back along with a spot for personalization. Alphabet Squiggle Script retails for $6.95 and is found at independent toy and book stores throughout the country.

RandomLine introduces game that keeps children learning their letters while having fun


Morris Plains, NJ – The maker of the award-winning SQUIGGLE® Series games has unveiled its newest educational product, Alphabet SQUIGGLE® on-the-go. This fun and engaging children’s game provides entertainment without noise or need for batteries.

Alphabet SQUIGGLE® on-the-go is a portable game that helps children learn the alphabet, improve penmanship and strengthen vocabulary as it stimulates their creativity and builds confidence.

“A critical component of early education is learning to write the alphabet and penmanship,” said Chief SQUIGGLER and RandomLine President John Kiely. “Children using this game are free to explore while learning the alphabet, and won’t have to worry about being criticized for not knowing their letters.” Kiely added that children may be less intimidated by teachers in the classroom because they will become more confident in their own abilities of identifying and recognizing letters.

There are a variety of benefits to Alphabet SQUIGGLE® on-the-go that parents would find appealing. With its compact size, it makes a great addition when taking the kids to daycare or while on vacation to keep them occupied and learning. Its educational component would also be beneficial to any home-schooling program or transition to kindergarten.

Children simply spin the colorful letter wheel and write the corresponding letter on the attached pad. The pad has printed guidelines that help with accuracy and control. Once the letter has been written, children can create a word or picture using the letter, or just have fun doodling anything from the letter.

This new family addition to the SQUIGGLE® Series line of games weighs in at only 7.4 ounces and is 8.25 inches tall. With a low suggested retail price of $6.95, it is affordable for families of all income levels.
