Our Mission
Four guardians. One calling. Yours.
When a child's curiosity sparks for the first time, Loomies is there.
Ember, Ripple, Terra, and Zephyr are the Loomie Guardians four elemental protectors who guide curious girls and boys through the moments that shape who they become.
Every guardian carries a distinct gift: fire's courage, water's wisdom, earth's patience, wind's freedom.
Through mystery kits, picture books, and hands-on science missions, the
Guardians walk alongside kids through the big questions, the hard experiments, and the discoveries that change everything.
Because curiosity isn't just a trait. It's a superpower worth protecting.

Loomies Chapter Books
When Maya and Zephyr arrive in ancient Alexandria, Cleopatra's most trusted handmaiden is dead, and no one is talking. What starts as a murder mystery inside the world's most powerful court quickly becomes something much darker. Someone doesn't want this case solved. Someone has been here before. And they left no trace...almost. The Queen's Shadow is the first book in the Loomies Chapter Book Series, a time-traveling murder mystery for readers ages 8–12 who are ready for a story that doesn't talk down to them. Real history. Real stakes. And a villain hiding in plain sight across every era.
Some mysteries don't stay in the past.
HOW IT WORKS
Every era hides two mysteries.
Step 1: Unbox your mission
A case file arrives: letters, artifacts, clues, and a sealed STEM kit tied to a real moment in history. Your first mission takes you to ancient Alexandria with Zephyr and the most brilliant chemist who ever lived.
Step 2: Run the experimen
Mix real tinted lip balm using the same pigment chemistry Cleopatra herself mastered. Crack the hieroglyphics cipher. Solve the mystery hidden inside the formula.
Step 3: Go deeper with the book
The kit solved one mystery. But something darker happened inside that palace, and only Maya and Zephyr know the truth. The Queen's Shadow picks up where the kit leaves off. Two mysteries. One era. One villain hiding across all of history.
For Schools, Libraries & Events
Bring the mystery to your students.
Live science demonstrations, hands-on mystery workshops, and time-traveling STEM experiences brought directly to your school, library, or event.
Every session is built around a real scientist, a real experiment, and the kind of discovery moment kids talk about for weeks.
STEM Relay Races
Draw an activity card, complete the movement, grab your component, and race back to build. Play solo or with your crew. No two races ever play out the same way.

Testmonials
Marci -STEAM Instructor
"Our STEAM Academy recently had Heather come to our classroom to lead a water filtration mystery mission, and it was a highlight of our week! The kids were completely engaged from start to finish. We loved the real-world expertise that Heather brought into our classroom. She did a fantastic job bridging the gap between professional chemical engineering and kid-friendly concepts. This was a hands-on, minds-on learning experience for our students.Students worked in teams as real environmental investigators. They hypothesized, gathered clues, experimented, and then analyzed their results to make an accusation. Her suspects were kid-friendly characters and fun! This session was not only engaging but also met our STEAM learning goals and objectives! Thank you so much Heather!!!!!"
