OuiSi Original is a set of 210 Visually Connecting Photo Cards that celebrate the beauty of everyday life. Each box includes a guide full of creative games and activities that ignite creativity and curiosity, regardless of age.
Each Photo Card matches with many others in the set based on similar patterns, shapes and colors. Thousands of these Visual Connections are waiting to be found, each delivering a delightful "aha!" moment.
INSIDE THE BOX
On top of the 210 lush, 3”x3” extra-thick Photo Cards (like stacks of polaroids), you’ll find inside the gorgeous box:
- Instructions for seven creative activities like OuiSinoes (visual dominoes), OuiSi Draw and OuiSi Storybuilder. Play solo or with others (ages 4+)
- Instructions for two competitive games that demand strategic thinking (ages 10+)
- A guide to open-ended play and learning
- Instructions for two mindfulness activities
IGNITING YOUNG MINDS
OuiSi encourages collaboration, like building off another player's Photo Card or co-creating a web of Visual Connections. It also fosters critical and abstract thinking. "How does something connect?" or "what do you see here?" – these questions are building blocks for good conversation and plant seeds of general curiosity.
Most important, OuiSi is FUN! Kids simply "get it" right away. Parents will love the flexibility of the Photo Cards and activities. In fact, you can lose or damage a few cards and it won’t affect the play of games.
CHALLENGE OLDER MINDS TOO
Families and friends will find the games and activities engaging regardless of age. That's because Visually Connecting isn't a skill that just improves with age. Visual Connections exercise the brain, invite conversation and provide hours of surprise and delight for all generations.
The best part for families? No fighting over rules or about who's winning or losing. It just doesn't happen in OuiSi.
ABOUT THE PHOTOS
All photography is original and mostly taken in New York City. The photos capture small marvels found every day, from a crushed pop can to a sidewalk puddle. Each Photo Card is an invitation to set down your tech gadgets and notice your own marvelous, everyday world.
The name of this inventive set of Photo Cards is “yes-yes” in French and Spanish/Italian, pronounced “we-see” in English. Fun, isn’t it? It’s a nod to our belief that pictures are a global language almost all of us speak.
