Many thanks to @mflbassie on Twitter who alerted me to Smart Puffin's Word Cloud app for Android this morning.
It makes word clouds in the same way as many of the other available apps (I like WordItOut, Word Clouds and Jason Davies Word Cloud Generator) but it has the added bonus of incorporating emojis, which you just enter along with the words in the app.
I made this one earlier on to test the app out. It's easy to use, although getting the fonts to an even size can be a bit tricky.
I put in animals for this one as that happened to be what I was thinking about at the time, and it was easy to find the emojis! Children could count how many times each animal appears or pair up words and emojis. You could include elements of writing frames as a different sort of guide to independent writing.
Have a play!
