Brush Ninja #25: Lesson Plans, Stickers and Sound Effects

Ninja Sparks

Hello Brush Ninja enthusiasts!

I hope this newsletter finds you well. It's been an incredibly productive month for me, as I've been working tirelessly to bring you some fantastic additions to Brush Ninja. So let's dive right in and explore what's been happening!

Stickers and Sound Effects in the GIF Editor!

This month I added some brand new stickers and sound effects for members to make their animations even more unique. The sound effects can of course be used with the new video export feature, to make your animations really come to life.

Introducing a Brand New Series of Lesson Plans for Educators!

I firmly believe in the power of Brush Ninja as an educational tool, and that's why I've put in a lot of time and effort to make a series of comprehensive lesson plans and lesson ideas specifically designed for teachers. These resources are tailor-made for educators who want to use Brush Ninja into their classrooms, allowing students to explore their creativity while learning valuable skills.

Unveiling NinjaPuzzles.com!

In addition to my work on Brush Ninja, I'm thrilled to introduce a brand new website: NinjaPuzzles.com! This exciting platform offers a treasure trove of downloadable word searches, sudokus, and mazes. What's more, these puzzles are completely free to download and print. Whether you're looking for a fun activity for yourself, your family, or your students, NinjaPuzzles.com has you covered. This new release is just a first version. I plan to grow the amount of puzzles and the types of puzzles to make this a brilliant free resource.

Gallery

Unlike last month, I managed to upate the gallery this month. It seems my decision late last year to host the images and videos myself has proven worthwhile since Twitter recently broke all tweet embeds. It does make it a bit more effort for me to add the content but it gives me a lot more stability.

Anyway - here's some of my favorite updates from the last month (hopefully these embeds work).
