A friend of mine shared this idea with me (thanks, Amy!), and I thought we'd give it a try. It's a space man! Yes, he looks like a little astronaut, but he's also used for spacing words so a child's writing doesn't run together intoonebiglongwordlikethis. :-) After each word, the space man lays down on the page and the next word is written on the other side of him. He is made from a clothes pin, aluminum foil, a cotton ball and glue. We also used markers to draw his face on.
