This Craft is simple. Just use the copy paper to draw a tummy, and cheek, use a Crayola crayon or sharpie to draw a nose. I used a white paper plate to make ears, a nose, and a tongue. And Elmers's glue to make it stick!

Buy the book that SmartAppsForKids.com calls, "Adorable... I just want to hug it!"
Sheldon's Adventure has a Fan for Life!
(From SmartAppsforKids.com - Review of App Version of Book - September 3, 2012)
"An incredibly sweet story. I'm going to find it hard to describe this app without the overuse of adjectives such as 'cute, adorable, sweet, scrumptious, and oh my squid, I just want to hug it'. But this app is all of the above. AND it also features some great classical music and....
wait for it...
Dancing cows in TUTUS!"
Sometimes an app just really moves me. It might make me laugh, completely bewildered or even a little tearful. It's an unabashed, instinctive reaction that fills me with affection for the apps in question. So I decided to compile a list of apps that are a little bit out there - some of them look quite quirky, others have characters that don't 'fit' in. They're lovable misfits.
"Oh My Squid, Sheldon's Adventure is an app you could just hug!"
Sheldon's Adventure features the most lovable turtle named Sheldon. He struggles to find his way in the world and what his life purpose is. He sets out on a journey, meeting a cricket called Hank and some dancing cows and a great classical soundtrack including Vivaldi, Bach and Strauss.

A little girl, her dog, and his funny shadow!

What if you had a giant dog that looked like a BIG, FURRY, FLEA when you took it for a walk? That's what happened when Nick Nebelsky walked his dog Max. Every day when the sun set in the sky, Max turned into a Big, Furry, Flea or at least that's what it looked like to him and his wife. Nick would say, "I should write a book about the day I walked my flea." That's how books are created at Intense Media. Everything starts out as a joke and then an idea, a concept, a story, and finally artwork is added. The process is hilarious as you get to see through images created by Nick, just what a dog may look like as a flea. It's a funny title for an even funnier book. I welcome you to check out his new book and maybe you'll notice your dog looking like something else the next time you walk him/her. To add a little bit of Awe-Factor, we re-introduce Claire from Sheldon and give her a newer, more youthful look!
And this copy also has three black and white pages that you can take home and color your own version. |

Meet Sheldon, the Square-Shelled Turtle. He's a pretty normal turtle; he likes sports, music, and eating flies! But the one thing Sheldon doesn't think fair, is that while other turtles have round shells, Sheldon's shell, is, well, square! From the name-calling, the teasing, and the snickering, Sheldon puts up with a lot. Just when he's at his lowest, he does something that SURPRISES EVERYONE! He listens to his heart and THAT makes all the difference!
The Sheldon series started in 2011 with an idea about how a turtle with a square shell gets bullied. That idea was first created as an iOS and Android app and downloaded more than 30,000 times in over 147 countries. It, along with its predecessor were listed as TOP TEN apps by SmartAppsForKids.com and a TOP PICK by Barnes and Noble's Nook. In 2012, we decided to turn it into a paperback book and sold 1,300 books in it's first month through book grants and Costco Wholesale stores in NC and AZ. FUN SCHOOL/HOME ART and DANCE PROJECT: Hey Moms/Teachers, do you want a fun activity that will keep your students busy while learning a fun new dance? Make turtle flippers with this easy template and cut out of normal construction paper. You can glue the edges together, or use staples. Each flipper will fit a small child's hand. |
"This wonderful book (Cornered!) is helpful to any child who feels square in a round world! The questions at the end are a nice starting point for conversations for teachers, friends, and parents."
- Dr. Celia R. Hooper, Ph.D., FASHA
Dean, School of Health and Human Sciences
University of North Carolina Greensboro
"As so many of our young children struggle with feeling 'different' and many become victims of bullying by their peers, this fun little book (Cornered!) has a reassuring message that each person is OK!"

Executive Director, Guilford Education Alliance

How I Earn $1,000 a Month Teaching Online ESL
I just used a Kindle tool called, "Kindle Create" to publish my new ebook on Kindle. It creates a file called ".kpf" which formats ebooks so much better.
When I created the paperback last night, I simply uploaded a PDF and that was a breeze! They also offer free book cover design which was cool! For speed and ease of use, I give the nod to KDP over CreateSpace when it comes to the printed book, but I'm still comparing them. The only thing I'm uncertain of is distribution.
The main reason I'm going the KDP route is that on KDP, you can promote your book with either AMS (Pay per click) advertising or you can promote your ebook with free or promoted giveaways. That's something you can't do on Create Space. So this weekend, I'm taking advantage of their FREE EBOOK promotions for my new book, "How I earn $1,000 a Month as an ESL Teacher." I chronicled my experience of becoming a Qkids teacher and generalized the info for all ESL teachers.
I currently have a FREE ebook promotion taking place until Sunday. So please check it out and share it with your Facebook friends who are thinking about teaching ESL.
If you got any kind of value from it, please leave a review. This is my first attempt at creating an ebook with KDP and I will report my findings on the promotion and other factors as they arise. I hope you enjoy my book! *Note: I just uploaded new content using "Kindle Create" software and it hasn't refreshed yet.
