  1. Hi Chanda
    I purchased the Superhero brain break cards with a super sensory bundle through The Inspired Treehouse and when I went to print them the instructions on each card under each title has come out in code rather than words. Are you able to help me? I am using a Macbook.
    Kind regards

      Almost anytime this happens it is because your PDF reader (I use acrobat as mine) needs to be updated. Once you update it the problem should resolve! I hope you enjoy them they are so much fun!
