Hi, I'm Sandy, the creator of Hugs & Giggles Early Learners! I'm a former preschool and elementary teacher with over 20 years of classroom experience, and I believe some of the best learning happens when children are having fun.
During my years in the classroom, I loved creating hands-on activities that kept little learners engaged while building important skills. Today, I enjoy sharing those ideas with teachers, parents, and caregivers who want to make learning meaningful, playful, and fun.
My goal is simple: to make teaching and learning a little easier! You'll find low-prep activities, learning centers, and playful resources that build early literacy, math, fine motor skills, and kindergarten readiness—all designed with real children and busy adults in mind.
When I'm not creating new resources, you'll probably find me trying a new recipe, working in the garden, or spending time with friends and family.
I'm so glad you're here, and I hope Hugs & Giggles brings a little more joy, confidence, and a whole lot of giggles to your learning adventures!
