How to Assemble a Flip Friend


These little guys take a little time to line up. It is a good idea to hold onto all of the punch here tabs and then manipulate the tabs around.
All lined up.

Time to punch. Punched this guy a couple times. We recommend using an industrial strength hole punch.

Then just insert the ring. 

Ta Da! Done. Pretty simple. Next up, Mr. Frog. 

I wanted to post some more about the Flip Friends. They are really handy little guys. I noticed flip charts being used around school and they were made with standard clip art and most of the time had too many choices and were hard to use. These are some commonly used prompts like quiet please and raise hand. Stay tuned for our Visual Prompt Sequence Pack that is soon to come out that will have other options.

Teacher's PET, a Professional and Personal Enhancement Tool to Help Teachers Smash those New Years Resolutions

So this little ditty might be a few days late for the New Year but it is everything you need to kick the year off right. Some people might think that New Year's Resolutions are for the birds but there is nothing wrong with wanting to start the new year off on a better foot than you started the school year off to. We put together some tools not only for teachers in the classroom but for you outside of the classroom as well. Teachers give so much to their kids and hopefully this set of tools will give you all the opportunity to do something little for yourself. 

And yes, we know this isn't an ink saver, and some people may just type some of this stuff into their iPhone, but we think taking time to write things down pen to paper can be just as good for you as the workout you are logging or healthy food you are eating. 

All you need is the supplies to print, and we suggest using a small inch or half inch binder. You can see more about this product here
