...here's what their parents have to say!
  • A Fun Way to Discover Chess Together Morgan

    We absolutely love Chess Fun for Little Ones! It quickly became a favorite for both my baby and us as parents. The lights and rhymes keep him engaged, while we enjoy watching him get curious about the chess pieces. It’s a fun and clever way to introduce the game at an early age, and we’re really happy with it

  • A Fun and Engaging Way to Learn Chess Daniel L.

    My child really enjoys this book, especially the interactive lights that show how each chess piece moves. The graphics are super cute, large, and clear, which makes the book very easy for my child to read, enjoy, and understand. It does a great job of making chess feel simple and approachable for younger children.

  • Loveable and Teachable Moments Lorielle Comstock

    I got this for my husband to use with my daughter. She loves it and flips through it constantly. Thanks so much.

  • Chess fun for little and big ones! Lucy

    Our whole family LOVES this book! It’s not just for little ones - have never played chess before and found the book so useful. Before every move I consulted each page and worked out how to move and what piece to move where. I’m going to give it as birthday presents to all my children’s friends!

  • Excellent and fun clementina

    Such a success! His dad plays chess and this is a brilliant introduction to chess! They will one day be playing properly together!

  • Great Fun for Little Ones Don

    My granddaughter wants to learn chess. In just a week using this book she has learned how to move the pieces. I help with piece names. Another week or two with this book she be ready to learn basics of chess, openings , endings & middle game.

  • Son carries it from room to room Rebecca

    You know when my son likes something- he carries it from room to room

  • A solid start to learn Mama L

    My daughter and my husband have had so much fun working through this book together, and it’s been a great learning experience for me too! I love how the visual illustrations make it easy for her to understand each piece and how it moves. We even tested her on a real chess board, and she was able to correctly move the pawn, knight, and, of course, the queen! 😉🥳🎉 It’s been such a fun and engaging way to learn chess as a family, and it’s amazing to see how much she’s already picked up.

How did we get here?

Hey! We're Mayghal, Dhara, and Shantanu - three friends with a shared love for chess and a passion for making learning fun. When we realized there wasn’t a book that introduced chess to little ones in a truly engaging way, we knew we had to create one!

After 18 months of designing, prototyping, and testing, Chess Fun for Little Ones was born. With interactive features, playful rhymes, and charming characters, our book brings chess to life, making it an exciting, hands-on adventure for kids and parents alike. We can't wait for you to experience the magic of chess with us!

Chess fun for little ones founders

Dhara - The Designer

With a background in developmental psychology, Dhara’s the creative powerhouse behind the book’s design. She’s all about making learning fun and accessible, blending her love for psychology with a splash of creativity to make sure kids don’t just learn chess - they enjoy it.

Kairo - The Chief Baby Inspector

Kairo is our ultimate product tester who answers the question "Will it break if I bang it really hard?". At just 18 months old, he conducted extensive durability trials (primarily using the "repeated chuck" methodology), verified the optimal smackability of the button (using advanced slap-based testing), and examined each light with wide-eyed fascination resulting in excited wiggles.

Mayghal - The Techie

Mayghal has never encountered a gadget without wondering how it works underneath. When he's not diving into new Arduino projects, he's busy testing our prototypes with his toughest (and tiniest) critic: his son, Kairo. Turns out becoming a dad was the perfect excuse to combine his love for tech with creating something special for little ones!

Shantanu - The Chess Lover

Shantanu grew up with a chessboard in hand and still spends his free time battling it out online (drop us an email to play a game against him!). His aspirations? To one day see his child being crowned as world chess champion. No pressure, kid.

FAQs

Chess Fun For Little Ones is designed for, well, little ones! We find that children aged between 3 - 6 years old are the most engaged with this book, although adults have found it pretty fun too!

Absolutely not! We've made it super easy for chess novices to teach their children chess, with a short poem describing each piece and the moves the piece can make, and of course, all the lights that show you everything you need to know!

In addition to teaching the basics of chess, this book helps children develop valuable skills such as hand-eye coordination, pattern recognition, memory and focus. By learning how to play chess early on, kids also improve their strategic thinking and logical reasoning, which are beneficial both in and out of the game.

Our book has 6 pages, each featuring a different chess piece. Each page has a cute illustration of the chess piece to bring it to life, plus a rhyme that explains more about how the piece moves.

We have a big, clicky button that when pressed, shows the direction that each piece can move in on the board. For example, for the Rook, it would light up first vertically, then horizontally, then finally will show both directions together. Our objective with this book is to help build the foundation for chess, which to us, starts with how the pieces move.

Absolutely! We are parents too so are not taking any chances. We have carefully designed every single aspect with little explorers in mind:

  • The LEDs and battery compartment are fully enclosed for safety.
  • Made from super sturdy, toddler-proof materials that can handle excited hands.
  • We’re certified by all the top toy safety standards (including EN71, CPC and ASTM F963)
