African Animal Flashcards

Hello everyone! Following the success of my alphabet flashcards, I set out last year to create cards for African animals. Of course, life got in the way, but I'm happy to say that I have finally finished what I started.

 

Below are two PDF files for printing at your leisure. I'm sure you'll enjoy them, even if you keep them for yourselves or hand them out to the children in your own lives.

Wow, Andrea!  Those look GREAT!  I would like to print them out, cut them apart, and laminate them, but what could I do to keep them together?  I'm trying to think of a way to make them less bulky than putting them in an album....

Now that I look at them printed out, I'm thinking I might not cut them apart;  I might just laminate the full pages and paper clip them together.

Hi Rachel

I thought to maybe cut each alphabet card out individually, stick them onto coloured paper, maybe two letters of the alphabet to a sheet and then laminate them. (You could even put another two letters of the alphabet on the other side of the coloured paper - before laminating - thus creating a less bulky book)Then double hole punch them on one side, thread pretty coloured ribbon through the holes and tie in a knot then a bow, and create an extra colourful book. Hope this description makes sense.

That's a great idea!  I might try that!

They look super and should be a boon to any teachers, particularly those interesting their students in Knit-A-Square. Can we link this some how to the teaching resources kits?

Thank you so much for these Andrea - they're brilliant and I'm sure we'll think of lots of ways of using them.

Not only are the pictures gorgeous, but I learned quite a bit.  The toothless, tongueless frog with the claws completely freaked me out!

Andrea:  For some reason, I am having trouble getting these - I get a "Files damaged could not be repaired".  Anyone else having trouble?  It could be my computer, so would like to know from others.

Mine took a while to load but came thru beautifully once they loaded

Hi Andrea, 

Wonderful cards which I'm looking forward to printing out for my two grandsons. I thought I would mount them on card but Rachel's idea about them being laminated sounds good to me.

If you don't mind could you let me have info on the alphabet cards please.

I buy toys from the charity shops for them to play with when they visit so I am always on the look out for something they don't have a home.

I'll let you know how I get on as they are visiting next Saturday.

Many thanks, Barbara
