Use These Public Domain Print Images For Other Product Ideas

You can use some of the inside images for book cover art and create a truly professional product. Children are captivated by bright colors and all things gross, creepy, and crawly. Girls of course tend toward ladybugs, butterflies, and dragon flies. Boys probably prefer spiders, ants, grasshoppers and the more wiggly bugs. This book has it covered – whatever gender you want your product to appeal to.

Remember, children like to collect so bug trading cards using the information inside the book for your content and the images for the card graphics may be a great way to sell more than one product.

You could create cards for each type of bug. There are hundreds of spider species for example and each species could be a specific card.

The only thing you have to do to create the products is sort through the information and decide what each card will highlight and then find a printer nearby to create the cards.

Quick product at a very low price – that’s the magic of public domain.
