About

Learning is something you do, not just read about. I wanted my own child (and others) to actually feel and play with ideas, not just memorize stuff. So I started making hands-on games and kits that help kids and grown-ups get comfortable, especially with math and reading.

My Learning Kits & Games

• Yonjuu (四十) Card Game:
  Math usually freaks people out, so I made Yonjuu - a simple card game where you build up to 40. The cards show numbers as actual quantities, so you don’t just learn formulas, you see and feel them. Kids as young as 3, adults, families, teachers - anyone can play. It’s not just about math concepts, but also boosts focus, memory, and teamwork.

• Math from Scratch Kit:
  Tiny hands need real stuff, not just paper and pencil. This kit uses cubes, dough, and Yonjuu cards so kids can touch and move numbers around. It helps with early math, logical thinking, pattern spotting, and problem-solving.

• Learn to Read, Read to Learn Kit:
  Reading is tricky for many kids. My kit uses letter cards and sensory activities, based on Science of Reading ideas, to make phonics and reading feel less scary. For any age, at home or school, it helps with decoding, vocab, and comprehension.

Beyond Just Kits

I use these kits in my workshops and teacher trainings too. For me, they’re all about helping kids, parents, and teachers rediscover how fun learning can be. Sometimes it’s slow, sometimes messy, but it’s always real.
