thin card works fairly well, so does that glossy paper - albeit neither are terribly durable and the latter is rather costly...

Maybe those transparent acetate sheets they use for overhead projectors?

Poster board is great. I print off the image, then use spray glue to stick it to the poster board and cut it out. It's best to use the poster board that is glossy on one side, I've noticed that that other kids crack easily. I've tried to find overhead sheets and use those, but I haven't gotten any yet. Has anyone here used them before?
