How to Print the Free Flash Cards Printable?
Print. Cut. Laminate.
The pdf file includes 18 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 or contact paper without needing a machine. I have used both and tend to use whatever method I find cheaper.
Ways to Increase Durability and Longevity of Nature 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 free printable flash cards?
Alphabet flash cards provide excellent learning opportunities for young learners. There are lots of different ways to use these nature alphabet flash card with your little learners.
Here are a few ways to use these nature 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, nature walk, and nature study unit for a perfect way to enhance your kids or students language development. These cards would make a great addition to your writing center as you introduce new word lists.
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.

A look into our preschool morning learning time…
We are taking a gentle and loving approach to preschool, incorporating read-alouds, consistent daily rhythms, and lots of hands-on learning opportunities. We want to protect and instill each child’s love of learning. Our morning learning time includes breakfast together, bible time, singing, and a few pages in our morning menu. Next, it’s time for play or going on our daily adventures. In the afternoon, my oldest loves to use our own flash cards. We still love our first set – Farm alphabet cards, but we needed to add some new flashcards with new words. These free flashcards have been a great resource for learning letter sounds and matching uppercase and lowercase letters. It’s time for us to a good resource for number cards to improve number recognition. Look for those soon!
