We have had a great month of back to school excitement. HP Canada has been a big part of making the Back to School routine a fun one to get back into. We have discovered some hidden talents and allowed the children to show their creative sides. we have even given away a fabulous prize pack.
The final Brain Training Challenge we did was
Develop Improvisation, Planning and Implementation Skills: Order Anything You Want From My Restaurant- This activity will allows kids to design and print their own restaurant menu with the ENVY 5530 e-All-in-One, including menu items with prices, setting a table, waiting on customers (i.e. siblings, friends and family) and then adding up the bill to figure out the total amount owed. This activity aims to develop writing, spelling and math skills. If it is a family restaurant, kids can also print out colouring pages and provide crayons to keep their patrons entertained. (Creative IQ™, page 42)
We used the ENVY Rove 20 for inspiration. Little one looked up different foods she wanted to add to her menu.
The touch screen accessibility of the ENVY 20 allowed little one to navigate with ease. Her big brother helped her type in the words she was looking for. Once she found what she wanted she stared on her menus. The menu included all her faves, pancakes was on their a few times. But also included a restaurant name and some pretty expensive prices.
She called her restaurant Kitty Cat House and we printed it off on the ENVY 5330 All in One printer. The print quality was amazing. So much so that it was hard to tell the original from the duplicates. It also clearly printed the ink that seeped through on her drawing. Picture quality print every time.
I am in love with this printer. easy touch access. Top placement for scanning, front release for copies. This makes it perfect for my desk. Pages come out at the front not the side. Everything lights up and it allows any device in my home to print to it. DD loves printing off her art work from school to share.
I hope your children have adjusted to back to school and hopefully you were able to get some gadgets in your home to help them out. I highly recommend the ENVY 20 and the ENVY 5530 as they are easy to use and very high quality. Great for children and moms like me who are not always tech savvy.

We really need a new printer. Thanks for this awesome review. The cost of the cartridges are also a big thing for us. They get really expensive. So I'd definitely work that into the whole equation too.
