Here's what people are saying about Kultura:

"A fantastic tool to help us teach our children about not only their heritage but also of other countries as well. So many of their cultures share similar traditions or foods. It is great to be able to use stories, traditions, crafts as stepping stones into conversations and teachable moments."

--mom of 2 boys

"Such a large amount of information on Eastern European culture and food in one place was priceless in helping me share my daughter's heritage with her."

--Denise D.

"Thank you for creating this. I love being able to share with my children about how Christmas is celebrated in their birth country – I can’t wait to see what you’ll put together for me to share with them next! We look forward to sharing this with our other friends adopted from Eastern Europe."

--Elizabeth, mom to 2 children adopted from Russia
