🌸 A Little Update From My Desk 🌸
Hello!
I just wanted to pop in and share a little bit about what I’ve been up to lately. I’m here at my desk, happily brainstorming, doodling, sketching, and creating fun, engaging ways to make learning skills-focused and exciting for your learners — both at home and in the classroom! ✏️🎨
Every day, I feel so grateful to spend time crafting resources that help you support your students. Whether it’s planning independent learning centers or creating activities that spark joy, I love thinking of new ideas to make your teaching life just a little bit easier. And remember — if you ever have any ideas, requests, or feedback, don’t hesitate to reach out. I’d love to hear from you!

Here’s what I’ve been working on lately:
Catnap Count – Math Play Mats
Organize your students' numbers and counting skills with my new Catnap Count Math Kit! I created peaceful 10 and 20 grids for calm, happy math play. (Though you might want to challenge your learners to stay alert while the kittens snooze! 🐱💤)
New Free Coloring Page – Chocolate Lily
I’ve added a new freebie to the Pond Coloring Club page! The Chocolate Lily is a fascinating Australian native flower that I’ve really enjoyed doodling lately. Your students might love learning about this unique plant too!
New Craft Pack – Starting with a Square!
I’m finishing up a brand new craft pack that is perfect for independent learning centers! Each project starts with a simple square that students can cut out easily and confidently, helping them dive straight into the task while you work with small groups. There will be 25 different animals, all beginning with a square!
