Decide how to hang them up – pegged up on a line looks attractive and the order can be easily changed. You can laminate them or add velcro or magnets to the back too.
The idea of language cards is that the child starts to see that a 3D object can be represented by a 2D image.
Making language cards can be time consuming. They certainly aren’t something you have to do with your child at all. They will still enjoy finding objects around the home and running to a book and pointing to a picture in it.
