🍓 Teaching Tip from a Montessori Guide

Flash cards work best as reference tools for building vocabulary, not drilling tools. Use these cards during calm moments to name fruits together while examining their colors and shapes. After introducing several cards, bring in real fruits for snack time—children can match the flash cards to actual fruits they touch, smell, and taste. This bridges the abstract card image with concrete sensory experiences, making fruit names meaningful rather than just memorized words. The extensive 32-card collection exposes children to both familiar and exotic fruits, expanding their understanding of global food diversity.
