I love these graphics because they are super flexible and easy to use for so many activities.

The images are already broken into sections so you can add a puzzle question to each space for students to solve and color.

The activity allows for repetitive practice in a fun way, as well as allowing for practice using fine motor skills and following directions.

They are basic, traditional activities that offer an opportunity to practice and develop a variety of different skills. They are also super absorbing for kids and are great to offer as an extension activity after they have finished other work in the classroom.

And they were super easy to create! I created this activity in 15 minutes.

First, I dragged the B&W image into Powerpoint.

I created a color key on the right so students will know which color represents each number. (I have plenty of options for crayon/pencil images in the Educlips store.)

I used text boxes to add number sentences for students to solve. I layered them over each space. I copied and pasted some of the number sentences to make sure students get some repetition.

I saved the document as a PDF and secured it, and then printed it.

Then it’s ready to color!

You don’t have to use numbers. You can use letters or images as well to make other types of puzzles.

These types of activities can be for personal use with your own students or you can create them as commercial products. Just be sure to add your own text or numbers before selling or sharing.

Enjoy!

These frames are 16:9 so they will fit perfectly on pages in these programs.

Just copy and paste them or drag them onto your powerpoint or Google slides. 

If you want it to cover the entire frame, just drag on the corner and it will fill your frame.

Drag the corner until it fills up the slide

Use a text box to type over the top of it.

Goodbye boring slideshows….hello fun and fabulous ones!

And if you prefer to create 8.5 x 11” documents (downloadable or printable), check out the vast array of frames for that size HERE.

Enjoy!

The first two are free and already installed in the Procreate library.

The brush I use for a marker pen is a bold mono line brush from @bossybrushstrokes. The brushes are designed for lettering but I find that it works great as a solid, clear line to outline and finalize my drawings.

You can see how I use these pens on my TIK TOK channel.

Happy creating!

GIFs can be used in your classroom with your students. You can place them directly into your programs when using them this way.

GIFs can be used on some platforms commercially. 

GIFs can be placed directly into Boom Cards when using them commercially. No need to change them to MP4s because they are secure on this platform.

You can use GIFs in YouTube videos and your own MP4 videos.

You can download the information in this blog here:

GIFS TERMS OF USE & HELP GUIDE DOWNLOAD

Strangely, my GIFs have now started playing automatically when I insert them into a slide. The box that the GIF is in also has an option that allows me to play and pause the GIF.

If your GIF stops and starts, it’s something to do with your Powerpoint program. Things to try:

• update your Powerpoint (if not the latest version)
• shut down your computer and restart (strangely this sometimes works!)
• Update your computer’s operating system to the latest version
• Insert the image the proper way (file > insert image)

Changing the GIFs to an MP4 is a condition of the terms of use when using the GIFs commercially. This gives our images and your investment an extra layer of security.

You might want to separate the images into still PNG images and you can do that by using EZGIF.com. 

EZGIF.com is your friend!

The resulting images are PNG format with transparent background (if you do it correctly!) They will not be as high resolution as the images from our standard sets but they are enough to use in your digital programs.

*Please note: the terms of use still applies to any images you convert to still PNG versions

Some platforms have a file size limit. For example, Boom Cards allows up to 300KB. 

GIFs can be pretty big depending on the amount of detail and images in a sequence. 

While we offer two versions (a large, higher resolution and small, web ready (under 300KB) gif in each set, it’s possible you might want to make the GIF even smaller so that it will play properly on the platform you want to use it on.

Here’s how to resize them:

Educlips GIFS are created on a transparent background. They are set to play on a continuous loop and at a set speed. 

You might want to slow them down or speed them up. You can do that by following these directions:

You may wish to slow down or speed up a GIF.

Here’s how you can do that:

You can add GIFs directly to your Google Slides for personal use or to use in your own classroom with your students.

It is not permitted to add them directly to Google slides for commercial use though. You would need to convert them to an MP4 first before using them commercially in Google products. (See the information below this section).

If you want to use the GIFs commercially in GOOGLE product, you must convert the GIF to MP4 first. We don’t recommend using them commercially in GOOGLE products as they don’t all accept MP4s directly. The quality is also diminished when using them this way. 

Google Slides only allows you to create links to the MP4, which is obviously not ideal. 

If the GIFs do not have this extra layer of protection, you are essentially giving them away, which is not permitted under the terms of use. They take a ton of work so giving them away is not good for us or for your investment.

If you want to add them to Google Slides, follow these directions:

I hope this helps you on your creative journey!

If you have suggestions or even a better way of doing things, I’d love to hear!

You may be wondering what you can do with a set like this. Well, here are a few ideas for ways to use these images:

SHOP TPT

Below, I have used the flower faces digital paper (in turquoise) and added the frame . I also couldn’t resist adding the flower face at the bottom of the page! It’s bright, bold and is perfect for a spring/summer themed product or folder cover.

Balloon images are always a fun way to cheer up some text and could be used for invitations as well as classroom celebration notifications.

The selection of clipart corners is pretty versatile and can be used in a few ways. They can be placed in different corners of a page: all four corners, two opposing corners or even just one corner. 

In this example, I have copied and rotated the bottom graphic and placed a smaller version of the same design in the opposite corner of the page

The spring themed colored speech bubbles can be placed alongside clipart characters and with text inside them to show thoughts and/or speech. The speech bubbles can also be placed over photos.

Don’t forget, these speech/thinking bubbles also come in black and white as do all of the graphics included in this pack.

These brightly colored round circle frames can be used with text and images so they are super versatile.

The motifs for the year are great for adding a little interest to a banner

or as a postcard image:

The motifs can also be used as counters for classroom games or to label resources which focus on certain times of the year.

The motifs were designed for Christmas, Halloween, spring showers, (fall) sunflower, spring (flower), winter (snowflake), shamrock (St Patrick’s day), pumpkin (Halloween/Thanksgiving), heart (Valentines Day), flowers (Mothers day), Easter egg, apple (back to school).

I’d love to see what you create with these!

Like the fonts I used in conjunction with my designs? I used the awesome fonts 

from Amy Groesbeck.

The post New Seller Design Kit – Ideas for Use appeared first on Educlips.

SEE THE FONTS IN STORE

If you have never used these types of fonts before, try this FREE set and play around with it to see if it will work for you:

Sometimes, you may need to restart your computer after installing a font to clear the cache.

You can find more info about installing together with videos on the product page.

Simply install the picture font and when you tap your letter keys, the images will come out instead of letters.

In all of these sets, the images are on the capital letter keys.

But what can you do with them?

Here are some ideas:

Create quick counting printables by typing out the desired number of images (I hit one key multiple times to get the number of bees I wanted).

Alternate keys and create patterns:

These arrows are from the ‘arrows picture font’. I typed out a single arrow multiple times to create a longer arrow design.

Make the font size larger to increase the size of the image and smaller to decrease it:

Some sets have word art in them. This is from the ‘Earth Day Picture Font’ set. Just hit the key that the word is represented by. I just hit the letter F to get this word.

-Have fun with the pictures and make the font images different colors and set them on color backgrounds or just use them for students to color.

These are just a few ways to use the fonts. I hope this gives you some good ideas.

Enjoy!
