Spring Break fun with mazes, mandalas, and more!
After a year spent indoors because of the pandemic, I have finally merged my origami and paper engineering hobbies with my interest in conservation to create an activity book for kids.
Rainforests and Reefs, available online through Amazon and Barnes and Noble, makes learning fun with hours of puzzles, spot-the-difference, word seek, mazes, and more.
In it, you can also make paper bag puppets, bird masks, a Hawaiian monk seal visor, and several origami models.
Need help with the paper construction? I've uploded instructional videos to my YouTube channel at https://www.youtube.com/c/TammyYee.
Enjoy!
From the mountains to the sea, make learning fun at home or on the go. A variety of activities and puzzles teach children about tropical wildlife and conservation. Featuring mazes, mandalas, spot the difference, word seek, and more. With 14 bonus paper projects including masks, paper bag puppets, and origami. Links to instructional videos guide children through the paper projects. |

Mermaid Evolution: The making of "The Castle That Kai Built" by Tammy Yee, Island Heritage Publishing
Before there was Kai, there was an anglerfish. Who was roughly based on my bulldog, Roxy. And since every memorable character needs a sidekick, I gave her a mermaid. | |
Who looked something like this... Mermaid study, acrylic. This was back in 2013. She wasn't ready for the world, so I put her aside and worked on other things. When she was finally ready to come out again, I decided to soften her. And make her more representative of children everywhere. After all, diversity isn't represented in the color of your hair, whether it be pink or purple. So Kai got several makeovers. The final illustrations were done in Procreate on an iPadPro. And that's Kai's story! |
The Castle That Kai Built
By Tammy Yee
Island Heritage Publishing
Hardcover: 32 pages
ISBN-10: 1617104108
ISBN-13: 978-1617104107
What happens when Kai the mermaid and her loyal pet anglerfish build a castle under the sea?
They are joined by a rollicking cast of sea creatures — including a mischievous octopus, a school of jellyfish and playful dolphins — whose wild antics stir up trouble. Tammy Yee's bright illustrations invite children to search for details as the follow Kai on her aquatic adventure.
The Castle That Kai Built is a cumulative tale in which the story repeats and builds as more characters are introduced.
