Learning cards - how to use?

  • The first rule - do not just follow the rules! :) The most important thing is to learn through play. You can use a variety of methods, tap into your imagination, and discover a learning path that will be most interesting for the child.
  • Learn to distinguish what is what, starting with a few cards and gradually increasing their number - show the cards one by one and say the names. While the child plays with the cards - arranging, sorting, flipping through the cards, occasionally say what is depicted where, and tell a little about the object. Together, look for matches in the books you have, include animal figures or other toys you have at home in the game.
  • After getting acquainted with the objects depicted on the cards, play knowledge-checking games - lay out the cards and ask to show where each animal is. For children who are just starting to speak/speaking - ask them to name the animal.
  • Take the cards into nature: observe ant hills, listen to the woodpecker, discover signs of a boar's digging...
  • Talk about the object depicted on the card (interesting information provided on the other side of the card will help), draw where it lives, what it does, what it eats... It will be much easier for a small child to understand what a cave is based on the drawn image and the story than just a verbal explanation.
  • When the child starts showing interest in letters - learn the names of the first letters. Using additional tools, such as letter blocks, find the appropriate letter for each card. Later, as they grow, arrange the letters into full names according to the inscription on the other side of the card.
  • Learn to read.
  • Learning colors - choose one card and ask the child to select colored pencils needed to draw that object. Draw together.
  • Flashcards can be useful even for the tiniest ones! In each set, you will find cards that can be used as contrast cards for babies - pictures of objects in black, white, and red.
