“The desire to create is one of the deepest yearnings of the human soul.” — Dieter F. Uchtdorf
Creativity is a big part of what we do. Sometimes it is simple creativity like coloring in and other times it is more elaborate like painting a canvas. It doesn’t always have to be elaborate or difficult to be creative, all you really need is some paper and crayons and you are good to go!
Having a printer when you homeschool is one of those must-have items. Something ALWAYS needs to be printed. The Canon Pixma printer is not just any, ordinary printer, it is the printer you need if you like to get creative!
We received the Canon Pixma printer a few days before lockdown started and I am SO grateful that we did. It allowed us to do so much while we were navigating those early stressful days.
This isn’t the printer you get for the office to print contracts and reports but it is the printer you get if you want to print photos and other creative projects. One of the best parts about this printer is you can connect it to your Google Drive, Facebook, Dropbox and OneDrive and print projects and photos directly from there. This means you can go into your Facebook profile, select your pics and print, in a few minutes.
The printer also comes with some really cool templates installed. You can print patterned paper, graph paper, bullet journal paper and more directly from the printer.

Canon Creative Park
The best part of receiving this printer was discovering the Canon Creative Park. The creative team at Canon have put together a whole bunch of projects for you to try out. There are so many different projects for you to try out from educational projects to projects you can use as home decor. The possibilities really are endless.
We decorated for Easter using some of the Easter projects they had and printed some really cute Father’s Day cards for David. But we have only scratched the surface of the projects available.
I have saved so many projects to do with the kids and I have incorporated some of the educational projects into our homeschooling. The “spot the difference” worksheets are really cool, Emma loved doing them all.
We are enjoying this printed so much and it has allowed us to be even more creative.
