  2. Spell out each word minus the 'e' onto a foam strip using self-adhesive letters. Once each strip has an incomplete word stuck into it, arrange them around the outside of the plate using our picture as a guide. you need to make sure they are arranged in the correct way so that when you add the 'e' spinner it will complete each word. <\/li>\r\n
  3. Cut a pointer from foam and measure the space from the centre-point of the plate to the words around the edges so that the pointer is the right size. Stick an 'e' letter onto one end using our picture as a guide ensuring it's the right end of the pointer so that when you spin it, the 'e' completes all of the words. <\/li>\r\n<\/ol>","shopping_list":"
