Here are some cards I made last month. They were *soooo tedious*, really broke my back. I mean I had to literally write down words on pieces of papers, all so my 5 y.o. could practice blend sounds. Huh.
And the counting ones took the cake. He needs to practise counting up to 100, and he seldom forgets what comes after say 39. or 79. Hence I made cards card to clip the correct answer.
Phew. I need a long hot bath, wine and a Walking Dead marathon to feel normal again!
{btw you can print Free clip cards for beginning blends from The Measured Mom, she’s got some fab printables that I’ve used!}

I spent most of 10 years as a teacher at home making things like this... wine is the answer!

DeleteI have tried making flash cards before. The best thing I have learnt is using good quality paper! Great idea - thanks for sharing with #bigpinklink
ReplyDeleteGood quality paper - is a must if you're going to reuse several times! Thanks for stopping by:)
DeleteI'm all for DIY learning, somehow it feels more satisfying and engaging to make them yourself. Some lovely looking maths games too.
