Question 1

How big are the booklets?

Accepted Answer

Each booklet is 20cm x 14cm - which is roughly A5 in size (half of an A4) This smaller size is designed to reduce the hesitancy and overwhelm that can sometimes seem a big task on a standard A4 sized book.

The books are made of  .45mm thick cardstock ensuring quality and durability so you can continue to use them over and over again!

Question 2

How are the InvisInk pens magic?

Accepted Answer

The InvisInk pens use a special ink that writes and then fades slowly until it disappears.

This means you can reuse your booklets over and over again - saving you money AND the environment!

Now, we don't want to give away the magic secret to the InvisInk, but we can tell you that heat and humidity do impact how long the ink lasts for. 
 
Always replace the cap after using your InvisInk pens and only ever use InvisInk pens on your Happy Hands Co. booklets.

Question 3

Can I use my own pens?

Accepted Answer

NO! Using any other pen, pencil, texta, crayon or other writing utensil will permanently mark your Happy Hands Co. booklets and they will no longer be reusable.
 
We recommend explaining this to your child/ren before each use.

Question 5

Will these booklets help improve my child/ren's handwriting?

Accepted Answer

Any handwriting practice will help to improve your child's handwriting. 
 
The unique design of the Happy Hands Co. booklets includes embossed grooves that will guide your child's pen strokes, thus improving their hand-eye coordination, developing their muscle memory - storing these physical movements and making them a more natural process for your child to apply when writing unassisted. 
 
We certainly hope that with repeated use and practice, The Happy Hands Co. booklets will become an egaging handwriting improvement tool for you and your children.

Question 6
