ABOUT ME

Hi, I’m Kylie — the mom and designer behind GoodnightFox.

Like many moms, I found the toddler years both magical and exhausting. My daughter, our “little fox,” was endlessly curious, always on the move, and not exactly easy to tire out. I loved watching her learn — but long days without structure left me overwhelmed, drained, and searching for ways to make learning feel joyful instead of stressful.

I didn’t want more screen time.
I didn’t want noisy, overstimulating toys.
And I didn’t want learning to feel like another thing on my to-do list.

What I did want was simple structure, beautiful activities, and play that actually held her attention — the kind of play that feels calm, meaningful, and developmentally supportive without requiring hours of prep.

So I started creating it.

GoodnightFox began as a creative outlet, but it quickly grew into a play-based learning brand for busy moms and caregivers who want learning to happen naturally through play. I use my background as a designer to create thoughtfully illustrated, screen-free resources that are easy to use, gentle on little nervous systems, and rooted in the belief that young children learn best when play leads the way.

You won’t find loud ads or overwhelming content here. Instead, GoodnightFox is a curated, ad-free space filled with:

  • play-based learning ideas for preschoolers

  • simple activities that add structure to long toddler days

  • beautiful printables and tools designed for real life — not perfection

While I’m not an educator by trade, I deeply believe in play-based learning and create everything with intention, practicality, and real families in mind. My resources are designed to support parents, caregivers, homeschoolers, and early childhood educators alike — especially those navigating busy days with little ones at home.

Why “GoodnightFox”?

We call my daughter our little fox — clever, curious, and full of energy. When she was younger, bedtime didn’t always come easily, and “Goodnight, Fox” became our gentle way of signaling calm, connection, and rest. The name is a reminder of what I hope this space brings to families too: a sense of ease, reassurance, and quiet confidence as the day winds down.

If you’re here because you’re tired, juggling a million things, or simply looking for ways to make learning feel lighter — you’re in the right place.

I’m so glad you’re here.
Take a look around, explore the blog, or start with one small activity — play doesn’t have to be complicated to be meaningful.

xoxo,
Kylie

FAQs

  • Yes! I personally hand draw every illustration in the GoodnightFox collection. After drawing the illustrations in my sketchbook, I then digitize and color them. Every animal is made up of very simple shapes (like circles and squares) in order to be as minimalist as possible. In fact, most animals in the collection are created with just two colors! No extra fluff, texture, or shading creates that super modern, clean look.

  • Flash cards and memory game card sets are printed on premium 19pt card stock and matte coat with a super soft coating that makes them feel so nice to hold, but also easy to wipe away slobbers and mess. They aren’t completely waterproof, but they are durable and slobber & tear resistant.

  • Yes! In fact, I love custom orders! I can usually bring your nursery vision to life in just a couple of business days. For custom flashcard or memory game card sets (in new languages!), please allow 1-2 weeks for design and production.

  • Yes — I currently ship internationally via Etsy at a $10.00 flat shipping rate. I know it can be a bit pricey to ship internationally, so I always recommend purchasing a bundle of products all at once in order to save!

  • I believe in instant gratification! So it’s always my goal to ship same day or next day whenever possible. Due to the current COVID-19 shelter in place order, the USPS has had some delays in picking up and delivering packages. Please do you best to understand that these are difficult times and everyone is doing the best they possibly can. If for any reason, your order doesn’t arrive, just let me know and I’ll get a replacement out ASAP!

  • I would be sooooo sad to hear it! But I always want my customers to be 100% happy with what they purchased. So if you’re not 100% happy, just let me know and we’ll figure out a replacement or refund.
