Build 3D paper letters from a nifty font
Speaking of Fontstruct, I found something cool over there. Punched Out is a free font that allows you to type letters, print, cut, fold, and glue to make 3D forms. Created by Tobias Sommer, it's available for download at Dafont or Fontstruct. I gave it a try while watching TV. It's a little tedious, but the result is fun! I printed the letters in gray, scored along the center of the dashed lines, and folded so that the printing ended up on the inside of each letter.
Vegetables – ESL Flash Cards | ABCfrog.net
digg Vegetables ESL Flash Cards The Flash Cards are completely free. Just share this link on Twitter or Facebook to get access to the download link. You have permission to print and share but please do not edit or sell. The full color images are B5 size (17.6 cm X 25 cm) and in PDF format. The flash cards include countable and uncountable nouns along with the indefinite article”a/an.” For young children it is not important to explain the reason for countable or uncountable nouns. I think it is also helpful to write important language points in a different color whenever you can. A new game you can try is the What is it Game. Slowly reveal part of the image and have students guess what it is. I always encourage EFL students to answer in full sentences because it makes sure they completely understand the grammar and review formulating answers just like the questions they hear. “It is a carrot.” is a much better answer than just “carrot.” I hope you like the flash cards.

Paper flower tutorial
I thought some of you would enjoy a quick tutorial on how to make those little paper flowers I used as part of my table setting a couple weeks ago. The credit for these go to Martha Stewart (I saw this idea nearly 10 years ago in her magazine, but haven't been able to find it on her website). So here I go.. Step 1: Draw a spiral on a 4x4" square sheet of paper Step 2: Cut out spiral along lines you have drawn Step 3: Begin rolling up the spiral from the outside Step 4: Keep on rolling until there's no more left to roll Step 5: You're done! I used a slightly heavier weight paper for this one, but you can use normal paper as well. Note: You may use a bit of glue or double-stick tape to keep the flower from unrolling and loosening up with time.
