Beads & Patterns Line

A range of kits designed to help teach children counting, patterns, and organization.
We started with the largest set and then expanded with a range of smaller sets to create different price points and approachability for customers who may not need everything offered in the larges box. For these I created the cards, both photographs and layout,
as well as designed the boxes and stickers.
