“Wow! A space themed workbook for ages 7+ all about spacing in handwriting! Made by an occupational therapist, this unique approach makes learning fun”

Sarah Muldoon is an occupational therapist that has worked with kids for over 20 years. She currently works as a school O T where she noticed a disconnect between what gets kids excited about learning and existing handwriting curriculum. She went looking for something more based in play to teach handwriting and couldn’t find it, so she made it. Upon seeing how well it was working, her mission became clear: to change how the essential skill of handwriting is taught in a way that makes it fun and inspiring for kids.
