I’m excited to share these adorable clothing flashcards to teach my daughter clothing names in Chinese, Korean, and English!
Commercial flashcards for children are often cluttered with excessive text and images. When excess information is presented simultaneously, young children may not know what facts to focus on.
On the other hand, plain flashcards may be too boring and unappealing for young children. Therefore, I made these cute clothing flashcards for pretend play.
Since the flashcards are the shape of clothes, you can easily guess the definition of each word.
In addition, the clothing flashcards promote open-ended play! Therefore, while children are playing, they are learning to read the words since the bold black text is noticeable against the colored background.
