Paper, we use it to create illustrations or to colour-in images with pencils and crayons.
For children, it increases their hand-eye coordination (and ours too, adult colouring-in books are still a thing!). Did you know our Paper Creations page has some cool downloads? You’ll find everything from games to puzzles to origami shapes you can fold. There’s something for the whole family.

This all has an impact on something very important –
our mental health. It’s why playing Sudoku has remained a trend for seniors the world over.
An article posted on www.healthline.com states that playing Sudoku may help keep your brain 10 years younger. Whether it’s improving problem solving skills, neuro plasticity, sharpness, short term memory, Sudoku is fun, challenging, comes with a sense of accomplishment and can be enjoyed by everyone in the family.

Research in the field of neuroscience is revealing that comprehension is better for children when they read via the printed medium, as paper-based content offers the special advantage of connecting with our brains. The benefits of print when it comes to cognition, motivation and attention spans, far outweighs the many messages we receive online. 

In an article from Two Sides North America, they reference a survey which “showed that frustrations with online learning during COVID are real. More than 80% of parents from all backgrounds (including 74% of those who typically favor online materials) believe printed materials would have made their jobs helping their students learn from home easier.”

Given paper is a medium that doesn’t involve an internet connection, fancy phone, iPad or other digital device, it truly has the ability to not exclude anyone based on location, age or digital abilities. Just a trusty paper and pen. Just on that, why not grab a blank sheet and write a letter to your friend, mum or neighbour. Or get started on creating that side hustle – nothing like a blank sheet of paper to get the creative juices flowing.
