Clip Art

Each clip art pack comes in either color, black & white, line art, or combo pack. The type of image is stated in the title or description of the pack. Each image is high-resolution 300 DPI. Keep in mind that PNG files are completely transparent and are lossless, thus producing the best quality.

Important Note: You may not sell the clip art as a standalone product. You may not share or distribute the clip art. It cannot be uploaded/shared via Amazon Inspire, hyperlinked within curriculum maps, etc. The clip art must be used as a design element (part of the overall project), meaning it is a complement and added part of your project.

The type of image/product is stated in the title or description. Each product has a high resolution of 300 DPI, making it perfect for printing without losing quality. The digital products are designed to make learning and organization easier, more engaging, and more efficient. It’s meant to provide a clear, visually appealing structure that supports productivity, reinforces key skills, and ultimately helps classrooms run more efficiently. Keep in mind that PNG files are completely transparent and are lossless, thus producing the best quality.
