I make a few extra blank ones just in case I forgot something. When I am
done with them I put them in separate bags labeled. (food, animals,
outdoors, colors, feelings,toys) I also tape them to their item (Bed flash
card to the bed, bath on the bathtub etc.) That way they can be seen or
used everyday. I use the flash cards for meals, activities and lessons.

swings and kids. You can count at home, favorite toys, food etc.
