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.

outside and poor vinegar in it (use a little over half a cup) It will

foam up really high. For the lesson you can have multiple bottles
