Help your child learn about the letters through these Alphabet Flashcards with Pictures of Concrete Objects from The Teaching Aunt.
When teaching children something new, it is always advisable to begin with something concrete.
Concrete objects or experiences are things that can be perceived by the senses. It means something that children can see, smell, hear, taste and manipulate.
And if you can make use of all the senses, the better!
Concrete objects can help young children develop better connections with what they already know or have experience of and the new concept that you’ll be introducing.
In this post, I want to share with you alphabet flashcards sets with pictures of concrete objects.
Since I can’t send you the actual objects (because the internet isn’t that advance yet 😛 ), I will share with you the next best thing- flashcards with concrete pictures. 😀
These flashcard sets are great for introducing letters and sounds.
I recommend the following tips to help you maximize the use of these flashcards:
- Print the flashcards on letter-sized paper (board paper is better, or you may also laminate), post them on the wall at children’s eye level.
- Point to the uppercase and lowercase letters and say their names.
- Point to the picture of the concrete object and say its name. Emphasize on the beginning sound.
- Example: This is an apple. /a/ /a/ apple!
- Show your child the actual object as you teach him/her (only if possible). If you can’t bring an elephant to your house for your child to touch, no one will judge you. 😛
- Assign a “Letter of the Day”. This way you don’t overwhelm your child with all the 26 letters.
As a preschool teacher, I would say that letter instruction need not be limited to flashcards and table activities.
The following are fun complement to your letter instruction:
- Games
- Matching letters
- Matching letters and pictures with same beginning sound
- Touch the Letter (like Touch the Color game)
- Field Trips
- Zoo
- Grocery
- Mall
- Restaurants
- Farm
The more you expose your child, the easier for him/her to make the connection between his/her experiences and what you are teaching. And this actually holds true for all the other areas of learning.

You’re right when you say that it’s better to teach kids using concrete objects that actually aids in their memory. Anyway, the flashcards look so pretty!
I love flash cards and they are very efficient. I used to use them with my peanut when he was learning both languages. Great post thanks!
I used to use flash cards to learn the elements of the periodic table.
Wow I like this alphabet flashcards. So creative 🙂
Really cute and crisp to read. Perfect for toddlers and pre-school children.
Flashcards are really amazing! I remembered teaching my kid with alphabet flashcards when he was little. A great way for kids to learn new words and it’s fun!
My grandkids love using flash cards and it’s a fun activity that we can do together. I like how easy it is to print these.
Those prints would be perfect to teach very young kids the alphabet! and it is perfect timing for back to school!
One of my little nephews is taking in the letter set at school and appears to be extremely amped up for it and enlightening me regarding it. I will investigate fusing a few cheat sheets for him.
I love this! How perfect for small kids. Flashcards are so awesome.
I will absolutely be printing these out and using these! My son is about to turn 1 and he’s probably just at that right age to start with these!
I loved learning with flashcards growing up! Such a great way to practice and retain information.
Flashcards seems a very interesting idea to teach kids about alphabets in a fun way. Helpful post for new parents.
Great tips! I have been trying to teach my kids but I feel like I’m not getting far. I’ll invent some of these suggestions and sere if it helps!
I remember when I was at that age, when you start learning about the alphabet, our teacher did have flash cards with objects and our school book was similar. It’s so much easier to learn when you have visuals.
Flashcard are effective I have to agree, it show improvement in memory for the child through repetition. It can be used any where especially when you travel with young one, at the car, plane or train. Children love it too.
I totally agree! We also bring busy bags with different toys, flashcards and books to keep my nephew emtertained. And to keep him busy and productive. 😁
I love this. We do have board books which my daughter loves going through. but flash cards seem like a great idea too.
My nephew also loves board books. 🙂 He also has a lot of those. 😉
What a great article! With a toddler myself just about to start preschool, this is perfect!! Also congrats to becoming an Aunt!
Thank you! I hope your toddler enjoys these flashcards. 😁 Happy parenting!
One of my little nephews is learning the alphabet at school and seems really excited about it and telling me about it. I will look into incorporating some flashcards for him.
I hope nephew learns from these flashcards, too. 😁
Pre-school teacher. Wow, you have immense talent and these incredible ideas are worth applying. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you! 😊
