Love this, but was wondering if you have a file for longer names? I have a Christopher and I would love to have him learn his complete name and not just the shortened version.

Thanks for the great name puzzle file :-). I was able to download it, but when I type in the names, the font is not KG Red Hands (which is downloaded on my PC). Can you help me?

Hello! I would check your spam folder and see if it is in there. If not, are you using a school email address? Those get reported as spam quite frequently.
This is so cute.
I wanted to use it for my class, but I am having an issue with the pencil that has 8 letters. One of the letters is a different size.
Then I was trying to type the second letter, then it puts it down on the second pencil. Then I tried to type the second and it messed up the first one.
please advise. Thank you.
I’m sorry you’re having trouble with it…sometimes technology just doesn’t behave. Try redownloading the pencil doc…sometimes it helps to start over.
I have had the same issue. When you try to type an 8 letter name in the top pencil, the second letter also goes into the second spot on the bottom pencil. if you try to put the name in the bottom pencil, the opposite happens. I tried putting a second name in the other pencil, but it still changes the second letter. I think it is a glitch with the editing feature in Adobe. The other pencils work fine.
Hi Janet, Thank you for letting me know. Have you updated to the latest version of Adobe? We’ll check it on our end and see what’s happening.
I love this idea!!! Is there a way to change the font? I tried opening in Word, but I get a pop up that says I can’t re-use it in other applications.
I’m so glad you like it! It is editable…try opening it in Adobe!
I tried opening in Adobe, but it won’t allow you to change the font. I have the correct font downloaded already, but it is not working 🙁 Is there a way to open in another program to change the font?
I have tried using several browsers to get the pencil name building activity. I used different emails and checked spam folders and still did not receive the download. Is there any way that this can be forwarded to me directly?
Hi there Latoria, thank you for reaching out technology can be a pain sometimes. The download may go to your others, updates or promotions folder. If you still have not received it please email me at freebies @ adabofgluewilldo (dot) com and I’ll be sure to get that over to you. Have a great day.
