- Cut Out the Pictures:
Depending on your preference, you can either cut out individual pictures from the sheets or keep the entire sheet intact.
- Laminate or Protect:
For single-picture flashcards, laminating is the best option. This will make them durable and easy to clean. If you prefer to keep the whole sheet, you can either laminate it or insert it into sheet protectors to make it reusable.
- Soften the Edges:
To make the cards safer for little hands, cut the corners to soften the edges. This can be easily done with a corner rounder.
- Use Erasable Markers:
Once laminated or placed in sheet protectors, children can use dry-erase markers to interact with the cards. They can practice writing, drawing, and solving problems, which can then be easily wiped clean for the next use.
- Teach:
Sit with your child and use the task cards or flashcards to teach various topics. The reusable nature of these cards allows for repeated practice, reinforcing learning and understanding.
