Arrrhhh...Paper Jam..!!

The paper used for flash card we got last sunday is too thick for our printer. Our printer LS355 Epson having problem feeding the paper into the printer. I only managed to print less than 20 pieces after making some adjustment to the paper like bending and folding slightly to allow the printer to feed.

paper stuck- see the marking on the paper. thats the jam mark.

The remaining flash cards will be printer on a A4 80gm paper then we will have to stick it on the 270gm paper. No choice have to do this way.

A4 flash card need to be thicker ( recommended 270gm and above ) so that it will be easy to Flash. 

Last time we use an exbel satin paper 250gm printed on A5 using our epson printer - no problem. So i would recommend you to use the 250gm for all A5's Flash cards 

In a NUTSHELL, 270gm is NOT recommended for printing. Im not sure if your printer can print. if you want to try you have take a sample from us and try with your printer. 

sample can contact us at sppurna@gmail.com (Mr. Purna) or my wife jia ming (lemonade_chin@hotmail.com)

send us your feedback ya..

Card Stock For Flash Card DIY

This weekend we went shopping for card stock apparently to make flash card for the 63 dots and the Mathematics learning cards (the one by Glen Doman). Since it was going to be in A4 size, we decided to get somewhat thicker so that flashing card would be easier.

we went to the usual place we went to get our card stock. The best to get it is in brickfields at Jalan sultan Abdul Samad. There is a whole street of stores selling printing cards, papers and binding.
we went to this specific ones we used to go, its called PAPER STATION SDN. BHD.

The good thing about this pace is that they have lots of sample to choose from to suit you printing needs. 

PAPER STATION SDN. BHD. AT BRICKFIELDS

here are some sample we got below:

they got the exotic which which is 280gm. This may be too thick for your printer to print so i skip this. im using Epson L355 inktank which is one of the best in term of ink cost and can print up to 270gm. 

I go for the  exbel satin which is 270gm. You got to buy 1 rim which is in the form form of 9 nos of A4. There are 100 pcs in a rim. You need to send this to the cutter to cut it into A4. the cutter shop is very close just 2 shops away.

 The shop is called Mathanna enterprise. The boss there is so friendly and i get to cut it in just less than RM5. Last time i also get them to cut for us 10rim of A4 into A5. 

They did a good job cutting a perfect cut and gave me a very tidy packaging

i would recommend to all mommy and daddy who are hard working and eager to get card stock to go to this shop and i bet you will be happy with the price and service.

good luck and good try..

26 months Boy Loves Bowling

My son AR starts to love bowling after watching a bowling game at a shopping mall during the Chinese New Year. That time he was only 14 month old. After this event, he would watch the clips from Youtube on family who has 5 children playing bowling. We were surprised it caught his attention and straight away he fell in love with bowling. 

Till today (1 year later), he still play bowling in the house everyday without miss. he would play several games in the morning followed by watching youtube on bowling games and one more in the eveing after his daddy comes home. He would also request for several games during the night before his reading session.

we had a simple self made bowling alley, pins and bowling ball from regular ball which he love very much. as he is still very young and could not lift a real bowling, this would be his passion and trainning ground before hitting at the real bowl.

he would also take the opportunity to try bowling at the entertainment centre where you can simple buy token and play. He have such strong passion in bowling, he plays bowling everyday, date and night... never ever said he is tired or bored. He would choose watching or play just bowling if given a choice from other better or more interesting game.  

I don't know anything about bowling but my husband played before at the bowling alley. We brought AR to bowling alley once or twice and he really enjoyed despite the bowling ball was still too heavy for him. I know bringing a 26 months old boy to play in the bowling alley sound silly. But if you were there to watched him play with his daddy, you will definitely notice his passion.

At home, we improvise empty Yakult bottle as his bowling pins and regular ball as bowling ball. Of course, before we start playing bowling I had to do some research on bowling and also printed on flash cards for him to learn about bowling. While he plays bowling, I will explain to him what is "STRIKE", "SPARE" term in bowling. At the same time, I count the pins together with him whenever he hits the pins, how many pins hits and how many still standing. It is one of the way to introduce math concept since total of the pins is ten. Playing while learning.

Now at his age of  31 months old, he can already know most of the bowling jargon such as "strike", "spare" "triple strike" and can even explain to his daddy the correct way to hold the bowling ball and throwing it. We had bought him a bowling set from " Toys R Us " which the bowling balls have 3 holes similar to the real bowling ball. Anyway he still prefer the Yakult pins that I make for him. Mm.... Handmade is still the best I guess. Now he also likes to play the game machine bowling, as it is much more easier compare to the bowling alley bowling. The ball is lighter a lot and he likes it because he can play by himself. At bowling alley, he needs our help to carry the ball and throw together which he prefer to play by himself. 

Most of the time I will video him playing I rarely had the chance to take his picture. If yes the picture will be blur. Haha, I'm not a really good photographer but just for his memory review in the future.
