Alphabet Flash cards

Again an activity with Alphabet! Sorry guys, couldn't restrain myself from posting an alphabet related activity. One of my friend told me that most of my blogs are tied around alphabet and suggested to look around other areas! But my LO is always fraternized with the alphabet! And hence my alphabet posts are sequel!😄

I bought one set of alphabet flashcards when LO was around 2 year (from dollar shop)...He liked them so much, so we also bought shapes and colors flashcards from the same store. The second pack is from Mead which we bought from walmart. This one has two set of cards, both uppercase and lowercase alphabet, with bright pictures at the backside. This is a good one, big and bright.

LO opened all the packs, scattered the cards and it looked kinda big messy! 

He started with arranging the cards with the letters face up. But after "D" he turned the pictures face up. LO arranged them in three columns, uppercase and lowercase from Mead and the last one, the dollar store bought.

A-Z all done!

And finally when everything is over, the clean-up!

Flash cards are great way to teach the toddlers alphabet and for the preschoolers a new word with a picture! To start with, give them flashcards, only when you think you can spend time with them. Teach them by showing one card at a time. Begin with uppercase letters. Then lowercase and when they are comfortable with both introduce them the words. Don't ever hand over the cards to the kids when they are not in a mood. Make this activity an enjoyable play time.  When the play is over clean-up the cards, and don't ever leave them unattended!! Be consistent!

These flashcards are cheap and affordable teaching tool, I would say. Just look for the ones with the best deal. 

Adult supervision is required, until you are confident that your child will not rip up the flashcards!

Happy Parenting!😊
