Tag or word clouds are known to be crowd favourites in the education world, both for the purposes of lexical development or literacy and for decoration (they're just so pretty to look at!).

Here I'll be sharing with you super clear-cut and convenient tools for creating wonderful word clouds: Wordle and WordSift.
