Color Flash Cards

Fun to make, and useful too!

Flash Cards

Design your own cards to help your child learn colors, shapes, letters and numbers.  Turn this into a fun project with cutting and pasting for young children.  They love using the finished cards, and it's educational too!

Flash Cards

Materials List

markers (lots of colors of the rainbow )
blank note cards
pen
glue
old magazines or store flyers

Instructions

1. Take the note cards and on one side of them color in a blob or circle with a marker. 
2. On the other side of the card write what the color of the circle or blob on the other side is.
   

Your Flash Cards are ready to use!  Just hold them up and ask your child to identify the color, object or both.

Hints

1. If you child is ready for letters or numbers, you can put both the letter and a picture on the card.  Cut out pictures from flyers or old magazine (A is for Apple).
2. For numbers, put both the numeral and the right number of objects on the card.
