Flickr Toys, also known as Big Huge Labs, is the Website for doing creative, fun projects with digital images that the user uploads, or by using Flickr images, Photobucket images, or entering the URL (Web address) for an online image.

By uploading a photo, a wide range of special effects can be added, including adding a museum-style matte, making a jigsaw puzzle from a photo, making a mosaic from several pictures, adding photo frames, giving a photo a Warhol effect (a la Andy Warhol's Marilyn Monroe pop art—see sample below), transforming a photo into bead art, making a cube of photos, making a photo collage, and creating a pocket-sized photo album.

For literacy, ABE, and other classes, the site's other image tools can be used as the bases for writing and speaking assignments. The types of projects both instructors and students can do using the site are numerous.

For this activity, have students make a monthly calendar with a class photo.
