Simple, friendly, bright colors. Cartoon-ish is fine but it must be clearly recognizable. Several kids are still learning to read, so the picture alone has to carry the meaning.\n\nLast year's cards came from different websites and looked mismatched: one photo, one cartoon, one clip art. Kids got confused.\n\nPrinting: 4 x 4 inch squares, word printed underneath in our class font.\n\nA colleague suggested using a famous cartoon chef character holding each tool \"to make it fun\".","rules":[{"type":"numberedItems","count":4},{"type":"maxWords","max":200},{"type":"plainText"}],"mistakes":[{"title":"Using last week's words","why":"The notes mention spatula and toaster, and the AI may include them.","fix":"Add: \"In order: whisk, colander, ladle, cutting board.\"","checks":["r0"]},{"title":"Mismatched styles","why":"The AI varies the style, so the cards look like they came from different places.","fix":"Add: \"Repeat the same style line word for word in all 4.\"","checks":["r1"]},{"title":"Labels in the image","why":"Image tools add the word, often misspelled, which confuses new readers.","fix":"Add: \"No text, letters or labels.\"","checks":["r2"]},{"title":"Adding a character","why":"The AI follows the cartoon chef idea, which clutters the card and borrows a famous character.","fix":"Add: \"One object only, no characters.\"","checks":["r2"]},{"title":"Headings and notes","why":"The AI adds bold titles per card.","fix":"Add: \"Exactly 4 numbered prompts, plain text.\"","checks":["numberedItems","plainText","maxWords"]}],"promptHints":[{"label":"Asks for 4 prompts","patterns":["\\b(4|four)\\b.{0,20}prompts"]},{"label":"Repeats the style","patterns":["word for word","same style"]},{"label":"Sets shape and background","patterns":["1\\s*:\\s*1","white background"]},{"label":"Rules out text","patterns":["no (text|letters|labels|words)"]},{"label":"Lists the words","patterns":["whisk","colander"]}],"hint":"Picture cards only teach if they look like a set and show the object alone.
