🐄 Teaching Tip from a Montessori Guide
Flash cards work best as reference tools, not drilling tools. Instead of rapid-fire quizzing, use these cards during calm moments to name animals together. After introducing several cards, place them on a tray with small toy farm animals for matching work. This bridges the abstract card image with concrete three-dimensional objects that children can touch. The watercolor art style provides enough realism for recognition while maintaining a visual appeal that keeps children engaged.
