A note about the prices
Many times I get people who shy away from buying my handmades not because they don't like them, but they find them too expensive.
I thought I'd take some time to explain how tedious it is to design and make a learning aid from scratch here to clear the air.
My learning aids are all original ideas and handcrafted by me and hence, with:
(i) the amount of labour (e.g. a learning aid with 50 removable parts would mean I have to cut 50 of such parts, laminate them, cut and stick up to 100 pcs of velcro, and possibly trim 50x4 corners should these pcs have sharp edges) and
(ii) time (just imagine the time I need to make the set of learning aids I've described earlier! (i.e. cut 50 parts, slot them into laminating pouches, laminate, cut out that 50 pieces, stick 100 pcs of velcro, trim 200 corners) and that excludes the time that went into designing them)
that go into the learning aids (not to mention the cost price of laminating pouches, ink cartridges for printing,velcro, etc.), they do not come, well, cheap.
Well, I hope that by trying to put yourself in my shoes, you'd be able to understand that my beautiful learning aids are truly worth every penny you pay. :)
