How to Print Farm Alphabet Cards?
Print. Cut. Laminate.
The pdf file includes 9 pages with 3 cards on each page. Print the cards at home, local library, or store. Each card has cut lines to help you neatly cut them. Laminate the cards to increase durability and longevity. For at home lamination, you can use self adhesive sheets without needing a machine or contact paper. I have used both and tend to use whatever method I find cheaper.
Ways to Increase Durability and Longevity of Farm Alphabet Cards
print on card stock
Cardstock is the preferred choice of paper because it is thicker and cannot be as easily destroyed by little hands.
laminate
Highly recommend laminating the print cards for increased durability. Laminating the cards also allows your child to write on the flash cards with a dry erase marker, take them outdoors, easily wipe off, and use other sensory and hands-on activities while decreasing the risk of tearing.

How can I use alphabet flash cards?
Alphabet flash cards provide excellent learning opportunities for young learners. There are lots of ways to use these farm alphabet flash cards.
Here are a few ways to use these farm alphabet flash cards at home and in the classroom:
- show your child the letter and demonstrate the sound that letter makes
- ask your child to point to the letter and repeat the sound
- letter recognition
- sing the alphabet song, pointing to each letter
- perform a letter search. A letter scavenger hunt is always fun.
- (if laminated) practice tracing and shaping letters. Trace the letters using a dry-erase maker and make the letter shape with sticks, blades of grass, play dough, etc.
- unscramble the cards into alphabetical order. This is an advanced skill.
- play musical chairs (musical cards). Place cards in a circle and have your child walk around the outside of the circle and stop the music, the letter your child stops on let them practice working on beginning sound of the words or call out the letter.
- writing in the sand on a small tray. A little bit of sensory play. 🙂
- outline the letters with fun objects, such as pom poms, rocks, coins, various other craft supplies, handmade pieces of play dough, or nature finds.
Add these activities to lesson plans, circle time (small group), hands-on learning time, field trip, farm activities, and farm unit for a perfect way to enhance your kids or students language development. These cards would make a great addition to your writing center.
Always supervise your children when playing with printables. Young children could chew on cards which can lead to choking.
How to store flash cards?
Alphabet flash cards can be stored in a pocket chart (DIY pocket chart), note card file box, and fun pouches. You could also hole punch them and fasten with a ring binder but this might affect the durability of the print cards.

Thanks for Stopping By!
Lastly, I want to thank you for stopping by! Please say Hi in the comment section and share a great way to use these Farm theme Alphabet Cards. Many flashcards available only have the capital letter on the flash card, but my girls find it difficult to learn the lower case letter. So, this is the product I made for them. It’s been the perfect addition to our morning menu for preschool homeschool. I’ll offer different options soon as they learn more. The good news is that all my digital products are going to be FREE.
Come grow with us by joining our monthly mailing list. I hope you have a beautiful day and happy early learning! I truly appreciate your support and kindness.

PIN IT FOR LATER!
These are so cute but I wish they were bigger. Two letters per sheet would have been better instead of three.
I use them with my girls at home. But I would agree if using in front of a classroom, bigger flashcards are needed. Thank you so much for your suggestion!
