My Story...

In December 2025, I launched Little Keeps Studios inspired by my two little ones to create learning tools that are vastly different from workbooks on a table.

The idea came when my then 3 year old refused for the 50th time to try and write his name. Every aspect was difficult, holding a pencil properly, learning the letters, copying my handwriting. I'll admit, I was getting frustrated by my inability to help him.

That night, I opened my laptop and started designing. The second night, I ordered one pack of supplies. By the third night I had completely finished making my first set of wipe clean learning magnets. When he came downstairs the next morning, it was like Christmas. He gripped a whiteboard pen, he followed the lines. He was excitedly showing me each letter he made.

Was it perfect? No. Was it 50 times better that the workbooks he was attempting the week before? Yes!

I could not believe the difference. 6 months later, he's challenging me to make more additions to our fridge that grow with him. Chore charts, maths learning magnets with addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, word building magnets and more. All wipe clean, all reusable, all suited for each stage of his development.

My magnets are now on fridges all over Dorset.
