Let’s face it: although Robert Fulghum once said "ALL I REALLY NEED TO KNOW I LEARNED IN KINDERGARTEN" learning is an endeavour we have to contend with our whole life long. The most we can make of the situation is to make learning fun – WackyCatures to the rescue!
When used appropriately and in moderation, WackyCatures can bring the needed humor to make learning easy, or, in fact, possible.
Personal level: Relaxes muscles and makes receptive and retentive for lessons in any subject or in life in general.
Classroom level: establishes rapport between teacher and student and also among students
WackyCatures can serve as holders for memo or mind-maps or the week’s mnemonic device. Printed out to the right size, they make cool and easy-to-identify book and notebook covers. There is actually no limit to how WackyCatures can aid the learning process. Let them be your buddies along your personal learning path!

We love the endless array of colourful and imaginative ideas it offers – one or two may be just what you have been looking for, for the next project you have in mind!
We’d be happy if you could come by our place at DIY's wackycatures (www.scrapbook.com/places/DIY)!
