Homemade Flash Cards–Get Crafty with ZINK!

I have to admit, I’m not a crafty girl by nature–I’m just not.  However, my 10 year old is crafty and I really wish I was so when I was given the chance recently to try out the new Zink Printer from Polaroid I was excited to get started.

Learning Made Fun! Homemade Flash Cards


One thing that stuck out to me almost immediately is the name and what it stands for–ZINK, which stands for Zero Ink…that’s right, it doesn’t use ink.  That means that you don’t have to worry about changing any messy cartridges or running out of ink mid-project.

After setting up the system (I admit, I had some issues but I got it all worked out!) I checked out the library in my app and decided to make flash cards for my 3 year old.

I have been working on letter names and sounds with her and I thought that the ABC Alphabet Animals were super cute and knew that she would love them! Plus they are  great for when we are in the car or at swim practice so the learning can continue even when we are out and about!

To make them was really simple.  I just went into the Library and under ART I went under the Alphabet Animals and I printed each letter individually.

Because the ZINK printer has a cutter included right in it I was able to cut them apart with just a touch of a button.  Once they were all printed I simply peeled the back off of them and stuck them to pink card stock and trimmed them to the correct size.  Then I punched a hole in the corner and put it on an O ring so they would all stay together.

Didn’t they turn out cute?

When we are ready to use them we simply flip through the stack and say the letter name and sound–she also likes to name the animal pictured.

And the hAppy doesn’t just have to be used for crafts.  hAppy prints can decorate, personalize and customize everything from handmade gifts, wraps & tags, greeting cards & invitations, jewelry, photo projects, address labels, business projects, scrapbooking, home decor, kids stickers & family fun, to name just a few.

My daughter couldn’t wait to check out the Idea Book that came with our shipment, in fact she has put little sticky notes on almost all of the crafts in it!

  23. I really need this. I dont have a printer, and having one would allow me to print coupons, and also copy genealogy information, which is a hobby of mine. Thanks for the chance.

  35. I would love to win. With a 14 yr old, a 10 year old & a baby on the way, making our flash cards is a must. My kids have done it since they were little & continue to use it to study for tests, learn something new (Spanish this year) & spelling words. I usually make them by hand but with a baby on the way this would be a perfect addition to our family to help me as a Parent keep with their demand. Plus my 2 oldest can make card for the baby since they are intent on it learning sign language (my sons gf was born deaf & my whole family is learning) Thank you so much for the amazing chance to win & I loved reading your blog & looking at your fun photos =)

  39. I am a special education teacher and I can think of a million uses for this pack! Both in the classroom as an educational tool and for fun. I do like to think of myself as a little crafty. However as a teacher, I always know there is room to grow and learn more! 🙂

  56. I’ll be honest, I’d never heard of the ZINK Printer til I read your blog post, but this thing looks AMAZING! I love the fact that it’s ink-free printing (less mess and mishaps!), and has the ability to connect wirelessly! I have an 8 and 2 year old, as well as 9 nieces and nephews, and am always looking for more fun and creative ways to get them more interested in learning. The flashcard idea is great, and I love that you can use it for organizing around the home/office, too! Thanks so much for the chance!
