Rather than quizzing, place the cards face up and let the child study them at her own pace. When she pauses on the cassowary or the okapi, that pause is the lesson. Give the name once, clearly, and let her return to it as many times as she needs. Toddlers from around eighteen months will happily name the familiar animals in this set, which makes it a natural bridge into work later designed for the three to six year old.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e👥 Who This Is For\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMontessori guides preparing zoology and geography shelf work\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHomeschool parents building a rainforest or biome unit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEarly childhood educators looking for real photo materials rather than cartoon illustrations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e🔗 Pair This With\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/biomes-flash-cards\"\u003eBiomes Flash Cards\u003c\/a\u003e place the rainforest in the wider picture of Earth's habitats\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/animals-of-south-america-nomenclature-cards\"\u003eAnimals of South America Nomenclature Cards\u003c\/a\u003e move the child from naming into reading with three part cards\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/animals-of-asia-nomenclature-cards\"\u003eAnimals of Asia Nomenclature Cards\u003c\/a\u003e extend the study to the tigers and orangutans of Asian rainforests\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/animals-and-continents-sorting-cards\"\u003eAnimals and Continents Sorting Cards\u003c\/a\u003e invite children to sort rainforest animals by the continent where they live\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Montessori Marbles","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44158340006022,"sku":null,"price":2.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0276\/4318\/3238\/files\/th_rainforest_animals_flash_cards.jpg?v=1783882269","url":"https:\/\/montessorimarbles.com\/products\/rainforest-animals-flash-cards","provider":"Montessori Marbles","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
