partners: ‘we teach’ and melissa & doug (and the north ‘poll’ news!)

I’m thrilled to announce that as of last month, the we teach forum has partnered with the amazing Melissa & Doug!

What this means is that members of our forum will be able to connect with the great people from Melissa & Doug, provide feedback to the company, try out new products, and share how they are using Melissa & Doug products in their homes and classrooms.

It’s awesome.

It’s absolutely the most perfect fit, and we couldn’t be more excited.

Here’s the skinny:
