"Zarfling Platoon Children's Education" - Business Spotlight

Kevin & Sully invited Travis Blair, owner and founder of the
"Zarfling Platoon". Travis is a 10 year military veteran that felt
as though he could contribute to helping kids learn through a
series of books and games he has created. Travis published his
first children’s book, The Knitting Chicken, with illustrator David
Buist. Shortly after, his son’s first grade teacher provided him a
list of sight words to work on at home. Travis created a game in
order to keep his son’s interest. That game helped his son retain
the sight words taught to him at school and improve his reading
score! Seeing the value, Travis worked with art designer PJ Day to
create the SpellCasters VS series. With a children’s book and
educational game, and a desire to create more, Zarfling Platoon was
stood up with a mission!

What exactly is Zarfling Platoon?
A Middle Eastern word for what was originally made of ornamental
metal, a zarf is a holder for a coffee cup without a handle. Today
you know it as that cardboard sleeve allowing you to hold your hot
cup of joe! After serving ten years in the US Army, Travis spent
quite a few evenings reading and writing in coffee shops in Austin,
Texas. He enjoyed the creative outlet, and completed the children’s
book he wrote while stationed at Fort Hood. Now he and those in the
platoon are known as Zarflings. The mission of Zarfling Platoon is
to create children's books and educational games to hold the
imaginations of elementary age kids! (Source -
