Do any of you use a Cricut Expression for school things? I just bought one and wanted to see what ideas others had come up with.

The obvious....letters for bulletin boards
I use some of the shapes from different catridges to label baskets/tubs
I also use some of the seasonal shapes to make games...matching games work well

I recently used ours to make different colored apples for the kids to use for Patterning.

are something on my list of things to do with my Cricut. Choose a seasonal symbol and cut it in varying sizes and have students put them in order by size. I purchased a promotion that had 2 different word walls.

I used the paper doll cartridge and had my kids make paper dolls. I use the letters to cut out the kids names and then I have them put their names in order. I use the little shapes to make the numbers on the calendar. I love the Cricut!

I've seen the ad on TV but never thought about using it for school stuff!

I use my Cricut all of the time for school. I find it especially helpful when I need a large quantity of something (circles, shapes, etc.) and I don't want to hand punch them all out. It's so easy to set the size I want and then press the button and it automatically figures out how many will fit on a page. We make familly apple trees in the fall to go along with our family unit and it makes cutting out hundreds of apples go much quicker!
