Dear cooperativegames.com (Child and Nature),
I’ve received the games, and they are lovely. I couldn’t be happier and will recommend
you to friends. Also, how wonderful to receive an invoice with a personal thank you written
by you! A rare gift indeed in these days of large, faceless, corporations. A happy and
peaceful holiday season to you and yours.

Dear Ken & Jannice,
My children grew up with your games and as young adults establishing lives and families of their
own – often tell humorous childhood stories to their peers about their cooperative “hippie” games.
They are appreciating the more gentle childhood experiences they had in comparison to many of
their peers. These games laid a political awareness for them that has borne fruit in their lives. They
love and care for our environment and are active in community justice issues. Anyway – a recent
conversation regarding your games spurred me to locate your to purchase games to give as gifts and
to put away for my future grandchildren. Thanks. Peace.

Dear Ken and Jann Kolsbun,
Thank you so much for your Save The Whales game. It is wonderful. I am ordering it for
my daughter (10 ½) and son (7). We discovered the game this winter when we went to
Yosemite with my daughter’s best friend’s family. They brought the game with them and
the Dad showed all the children how to play since it was his game as a child! His parents
bought the game in the late 1970’s for their children. Now it has been passed on to the
next generation! Now that is a great game!

Hi –
I just tapped into the internet to see if I could find you. My sons are now 21 and 24 and I haven’t
seen one of your catalogs for years, but I remembered your beautiful family pictures and stories and
wanted to try to find you. I reacted with sadness to see that the company is no longer in your hands,
but know there is probably a good reason, and I fully support whatever it takes to keep your own
lives good.
We ordered games from you every year. They became part of our own family history, played to
celebrate or to comfort. It’s a good thing you made them to last, because now I play these with my
nieces, who love Whales, Beavers, and Bees.
I wish now I’d saved some of those catalogs, just to have. But under no circumstances will I ever
part with the games! You made something extremely beautiful, and it warmed and blessed countless
people for many years, and will for years. My deepest thanks for sharing your talent, creativity and
family at the level you did, in years when commercial outlook ruled. I can’t say enough, but
thanks…
