Hey there, I’m Katie!

I help busy parents and teachers engage children in high-interest, hands-on activities that make learning fun, easy, and natural.

After completing a master’s degree in education and a PhD in child development, I became a homeschooling mom to two curious kids.

I soon discovered that my teaching superpower is the ability to take any topic and uplevel it with developmentally appropriate, engaging, hands-on activities!

Now I’m dedicated to making YOU the hero by helping you share high-quality learning activities with your children and students.

Learn more about me and what I do HERE.

Thank you so much, Katie! I was able to use the body part bingo with my pre-k/kindergarten co-op and it was a huge hit with all the kids as we have fun learning about the basics of human anatomy. Perfect addition to our class!!

Your resources rank at the top of the list! As a retired teacher I am loving the printables for my grandchildren. Wish I had this available in the classroom. Thank you for sharing them. I know you have spent hours on them and letting us use them is truly a gift.

I just purchased your book, 101 Ways to Teach the Alphabet. To say I am soooooo excited, is an understatement. I have taught for many years, but your book has brought even more, new insight and excitement about learning and teaching the alphabet! I can’t wait for the new year to begin!

I work with special needs preschool students who are also ESL. Your printables are a great resource for my classroom. The themes support their vocabulary development and the level of skills is adaptable for my students’ range of abilities. The children never tire of your materials and the adults all think your artwork is so cute. You save me so much time so that I can focus better on the children rather than searching out materials. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

I have so many of your printables saved already and we are looking forward to a great year of home preschooling with a patchwork of resources from creative people like you!
