About Us
Hand-crafted resources by teachers, for everyone.
Welcome to Abacus Whiskers! We are a small, family-run business from the North-West of England, with a passion for designing beautiful and practical digital resources. We believe that organisation and creativity should go hand-in-hand, both in the classroom and at home.
Our Story
Our journey began with us, Martyn and Amy, two teachers navigating the wonderful chaos of school life. Alongside our two amazing children, Lucas and Emmy (and our trusty dog, Lanta!), we found ourselves constantly creating new resources to use in our own classrooms.
The name “Abacus Whiskers” was born from a bedtime story Martyn and Lucas created about a brave explorer on a grand adventure. It perfectly captured the spirit of exploration and learning we wanted to foster. What started as a small project soon blossomed into a full range of digital and printable stationery, all designed to solve the real-world challenges we faced as educators.
Our Philosophy
Purpose-Driven Design
We create resources that we need ourselves. Every product, from our best-selling digital teacher planners to our classroom activities, is born from a genuine need and tested by our family.
Beautifully Simple
We believe practical tools don’t have to be boring. Our design philosophy combines clean, simple layouts with a creative spark, making organization a joy, not a chore.
Rooted in Education
With years of teaching experience, our products are built on a solid foundation of educational expertise. We know what works, and we build it into everything we create.
