When innovation meets purpose, amazing synergies happen. At yOOusers, we design edutainment toys using Origami and quilling to spark creativity and joy.
At Obelus, we focus on well-being, social impact, and academic excellence through programs like Amazing People Schools, Bounce Together, PASS, BOOKR English Library, Twin Science, and Matific. What if these two worlds came together?
yOOusers is a creative edutainment startup dedicated to making learning fun, engaging, and impactful for kids and adults alike. We specialize in Origami and quilling-based educational toys that inspire creativity, enhance fine motor skills, and foster cognitive development. By blending art, education, and play, yOOusers transforms traditional learning into an interactive experience, encouraging both personal growth and collaborative teamwork.
Our mission is to empower individuals to explore their potential through hands-on crafting, bridging the gap between creativity and education in innovative ways.
