Hi, I'm Mari!

I’m a fifth grade teacher with a love for design, creativity, and creating meaningful classroom resources. Marigold Ink was born out of my own classroom needs — the moments when I wanted resources that were engaging, easy to use, and thoughtfully designed for real students.

Everything you’ll find here is inspired by what I’ve used (or wished I had) in my own classroom. From low-prep activities to classroom decor and bulletin board kits, my goal is to help teachers save time while creating learning spaces that feel welcoming, organized, and joyful.

I believe great resources should support learning and feel good to use. Whether you’re looking for something practical, creative, or just a little bit fun, I hope you find tools here that make your day a little easier and your classroom a little brighter.

Thank you so much for being here — I can’t wait to help you create a classroom you love.

— Mari
