Anyone can make a literacy toy.

But designing one that actually supports how children learn to read is something entirely different.

As a reading interventionist with 18 years in education, every detail of this Roll & Stamp Phonics Set was intentional.

🌈 Follows a systematic phonics scope and sequence
🌈 Introduces a small set of letters at a time to avoid cognitive overload
🌈 Provides targeted, repeated practice before adding new sounds
🌈 Combines letter recognition, beginning sound identification, phoneme-grapheme mapping, and word reading—all through play

This isn’t random letter practice. It’s purposeful practice that’s aligned with the Science of Reading and designed to build confident, successful readers one sound at a time.

Because when learning feels like play, kids stay engaged. And when practice is intentional, learning sticks. 🤍

Little hands learn best through play.

I’m a math interventionist who believes early math learning should be hands-on, playful, and meaningful.

Welcome to DoughDigits! This system was designed to help children explore numbers in a way that grows with them.

More coming soon. 🤍

Better together. 🤝

Pair the phonics stamp dice with the 1–6 number roller for an easy phonological awareness activity that also supports number recognition and fine motor skills. Breaking words into syllables helps kids process and manipulate spoken language, a key pre-reading skill.

Simple to set up, engaging for learners, and a great reminder that thoughtfully designed resources can work together in so many different ways. 🤍

Hands-on learning

I couldn’t be more excited to show more of the new educational resources I have been sharing sneaky peaks of recently.

I am so lucky to be able to partner with some amazing small business mummas to bring their beautiful products to the UK.

Thank you to Ashleigh @mokiplayco and Stephanie @doughdigitsco for trusting me with your wonderful products.

Over the next week I will be sharing more of the products that I will be bringing exclusively to Play Craft Grow. Here is a look at just some of the new items I’ll be launching. Keep an eye out for the drop date.

These pieces truly epitomise hands on learning through play and I can’t wait to show you more of how I use them with my boys (who love them all!).

Who’s excited?! Let me know in the comments below.

Behind every roller, stamp, and activity is more than a 3D printer… it’s 18 years in the classroom.

I’m a current full time interventionist. I’ve seen firsthand what helps kids learn… That’s why I started designing my own hands-on tools.

Every product is created to reinforce foundational literacy skills through purposeful play, with activities that support explicit phonics instruction while still feeling engaging for kids.

Because teachers and students deserve resources that are research-informed, practical, and actually fun to use.

Turns out, a little creativity, a 3D printer (or 3! 🤪) and a lot of classroom experience make a pretty great combination. 🤍 by @doughdigitsco
