I have a play-based classroom, so these cards play a vital role in the learning provocations offered in both our Science, Sensory play and Art investigation areas.

In Science, we use the cards whenever we learn about materials, their properties and how we can change materials for a specific purpose.

In Art and Sensory Play, we display the cards consistently at the playdough table and the art area whenever we are exploring clay.

These educational cards feature original graphics designed by a professional graphic artist and so you won’t find these illustrations anywhere else.

You can design a purposeful and educational learning area with these display cards. They are one of those resources you will be using over and over in your hands-on learning invitations.

“This is a GREAT visual for my students to have and see in the classroom. Students not only hear me using the vocabulary, but they also will learn to read the vocabulary word they hear me use all of the time in class and can also see a picture of the word to better comprehend what the word means. Overall it is a GREAT tool to have in the classroom for all of my students.”

“I used these cards to provoke discussion around the playdough table linking it to our science inquiry of movement. They are beautifully produced cards and I especially appreciate the variety of skin tones.”
