Homemade Flashcards

May 24th 2010
Photos of everyday things made into childrens flashcards to introduce our daughter to words.

Here is a small sample of the flashcards we made for our daughter. She is just stringing words together and gets frustrated trying to communicate sometimes.

We thought she would learn quicker with items she knew rather than commercial childrens flashcards from the US or UK.

So we took photos of everyday things in her life, added the word to the bottom of them, and printed them out like normal photos very cheaply.

As her vocabulary expands we can take photos of new things and introduce them to the deck.

Dave did it in his Photo Software for work. He thinks you should be able to do it with Photoshop or other photo editing software. Those photo booths at BigW or Kmart etc, also let you write stuff on photos. Good luck. It is great to have her own things in the photos, really good for relatives and we are going to do emotions next. Mummy happy, Mummy angry ;)
