We started Beeloo a little over a year ago to give parents a daily alternative to screen time for their kids through fun printable activities. As we’ve grown and learned more about our users, we found out that the majority of our users were teachers, using Beeloo in the classroom. We’ve spent the past few months talking to teachers to better understand how we can meet their needs. Today, we are excited to announce a major update to Beeloo. We will continue to create fun and engaging printable activities, but we are excited to launch new activity types and themes that are educational-outcome focused, designed with teacher’s in mind. Teacher’s can also now get full unlimited access to Beeloo in a low cost yearly subscription. Lastly, we’ve also hit a milestone of 35,000+ printable activities on our platform.
Today’s launch is just the start. Our focus as a company will now prioritize fun and engaging worksheets, printable activities and crafts that align to educational outcomes and standards. If you’re a parent or other caregiver, don’t worry; we think you’ll like this new direction because we are prioritizing both fun and learning. In fact, as we’ve talked to parents and other caregivers, one of the top requests has been more educational printable activities!
It’s important to us that in everything we do we recognize the vital role that teachers play in our society. That is why we are committed to making much of our platform accessible for free and offering a low-cost annual subscription for power users and schools to purchase directly. We believe teachers will be able to spend less on supplemental curriculum every year with a Beeloo subscription and save hours of time each week. Learn more about our individual and school wide subscriptions here.

Why are we doing this?
As we’ve listened to the teachers using our platform, time and again they’ve told us that finding printable classroom worksheets has been time consuming, frustrating and expensive. We are in a unique position to build them an easy, affordable, high-quality, and ever-expanding set of resources. The technology we’ve built using software automation, generative AI and talented creators enables us to uniquely meet the needs of teachers.
We know from our interviews with teachers that their needs are not being met by other solutions, here is what we’ve learned:
-Teachers require an endless amount of fun and educational offline resources for fast finishers, class celebrations, extra practice, substitute days, homework and supplemental curriculum.
-Teachers are frequently buying supplemental material out of their own pocket, with many small purchases adding up to large costs through the school year. Many purchases go wasted because they can’t see the product until they buy.
-It’s time consuming to sift through a disorganized mountain of free and paid options to find something that prints well, is at the right level and can keep a class full of kids engaged.
-Teachers want offline resources that are seamlessly integrated into technology so they can find the answer key without digging around a stack of papers and can check it easily on their phone.
On Beeloo, teachers now have access to 35,000+ worksheets, activities and crafts that are fun, engaging AND educational. We will continue to add hundreds more resources each week. Everything on Beeloo prints perfectly every time, and features a QR code to take you to the solution or to print off more copies. Our packet builder and AI wizard enable you to put together large educational and fun packets in seconds, and you can sort results by age, difficulty, and other options.
What’s next?
We will continue to expand our theme and activity types to meet the needs of teachers. This is just the beginning and you can expect much more, soon. Our mission is to use technology to help kids spend LESS time on technology. Thank you to our users for your partnership in helping us develop this exciting new offering that will do just that.
As always, if you need any help or have any questions, just shoot us an email at info@beeloo.com. We're always happy to hear from you!
