You may not have seen the great graphics in ActivInspire of people. You'll find them in the Subjects>General>People folder in your resource library! They are really great! {}
Another fun place I have found is this website sponsored by the Wild Conservation Society. If you've played with the Wii, you've probably made Mii's! This is kinda like that.
You can put different eyes, skin color, mouths, hair etc on the kids! :p
I've used the ActivInspire camera tool to capture my creations and put them into a flipchart. However, since they have a "mottled" background, I had to use the paint bucket to fill the background colors white so that when I made them transparent, I would just make the white part transparent. Be careful with skin and hair tones as sometimes they match the background color so they might become transparent, too! :eek: If you're good with the ActivPen, you can by-pass all that by using the freehand camera and just draw around the kid!
Anyway, I've attached a one page flipchart of my two little kids I made with a nice background from ActivInspire and a screenshot for those who don't yet have ActivInspire.
Oh, here's the link the the website:
