Why I Started Making Printables
I started making printables because the screen is only one part of the day.
The app is calm screen time. But a child also needs time off the screen, with real paper and real crayons. I kept getting asked: what do I give them when the phone goes away?
So I started drawing. Coloring pages, sorting cards, simple activities a parent can print and hand over. The hedgehog coloring page was the first one, and it's still the most popular.
The printables aren't a separate business. They're the same idea, off the screen. A child who likes Color Stack on the app might like the size-sorting printable on the kitchen table.
I keep them cheap. A couple of dollars, one download, print as many times as you want. Same honest model as the app: pay once, own it.
The shop is small, like the app. I'd rather have a few good printables than a pile of filler. If it grows, it grows slowly.
