Մայրիկ ու Հայրիկ

Parents who understand more than they speak
Maybe Armenian skipped a generation, or it only comes out at Tatik's table. Every card spells out how to say the word, so you learn right alongside your kids.

Grandparents who carry the words
Tatik and Papik already know every word. The cards turn them into a little game for every visit, and the My Family cards hold real photos of the real Tatik.

Hi, I'm Pamela
I'm a designer and art director, and I'm learning Armenian right alongside my little one. I made these cards for our own kitchen table, so a grown-up who's still learning can read every word out loud with confidence.
Roots & Crayons is for every family keeping Armenian close, wherever home is. Thank you for bringing these words into yours.

Questions families ask
Do I need to speak Armenian?
Not at all. Every card shows the English word and an easy sound-it-out line, and capital letters show which part to stress. You can say each word with confidence the first time.
Which Armenian is this?
Eastern Armenian, with pronunciations that follow how many Iranian-Armenian (Parskahayeren) families speak at home. If your family speaks Western Armenian, tell us when you sign up. We're counting requests for a Western edition.
What size are the cards, and how do I laminate them?
Four cards fit on each US Letter page, and each card is about 3.6 × 4.9 inches. Print at actual size (100%). On A4 paper, choose “Fit to page.”
To laminate, cut the cards first, slide them into a pouch with a little space between them, run it through, then trim around each card. The sealed edges last much longer.
Will they print in black and white?
Yes. Every pack comes with an ink-saver version made for black-and-white printers. Each group keeps its own shape, so sorting still works without color, and the outlines double as coloring pages.
Can I use them in my classroom?
The family packs are for one household. For a classroom, Saturday school or tutoring group, the classroom license covers every pack with unlimited copies for your students.
