Kathryn R Paradis 5 I'm writing a review because I'm really bad with spacial concepts (both distance and size), and I want other people like me to have something to have a better idea of what these look and feel like.The quality is really good; thick enough not to bleed through from heavy markers; easy to cut and flexible but thick and sturdy enough to be used as some kind of sign/ flash cards or even craft project book marks for kids.The paper is smooth but isn't glossed and does well with crayons, colored pencils, and various kinds of markers.I don't know about pastels and feel that the paper might be too smooth to hold layers of pastel or chalk type colors.The size of the notebook beneath the card is A5 (140x210mm).
