I like to place one real fossil (even an inexpensive shark tooth or ammonite) beside the matching card and let the child hold it while they learn the name. Touching the real object first makes the vocabulary stick, and the card becomes something the child returns to on their own.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e🔗 Pair This With\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/dinosaur-flash-cards\"\u003eDinosaur Flash Cards\u003c\/a\u003e: meet the creatures behind the eggs and footprints\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/minerals-stones-flash-cards\"\u003eMinerals \u0026amp; Stones Flash Cards\u003c\/a\u003e: a natural next step into earth science vocabulary\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/dinosaur-nomenclature-cards\"\u003eDinosaur Nomenclature Cards\u003c\/a\u003e: 3-part cards for deeper vocabulary work\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/minerals-stones-activity-bundle-for-early-years\"\u003eRocks \u0026amp; Minerals Activity Bundle\u003c\/a\u003e: a full geology shelf in one download\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eExplore More\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/collections\/minerals-rocks\"\u003eMinerals \u0026amp; Rocks Collection\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/collections\/flash-cards\"\u003eFlash Cards Collection\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThis is a digital PDF download, delivered instantly and sized for US Letter or A4 paper.
