📚 Teaching Tip from a Montessori Guide

Sorting activities are self-correcting—if a child puts 'cat' under the 'd' pile, they'll notice it doesn't match when they review their work. This builds independence and critical thinking. The watercolor aesthetic makes these cards beautiful enough to display on shelves, encouraging children to choose alphabet work during independent time.
