New Thomas Flash Cards on Colours

Hello! I see you're new here. Welcome to Babylicious! You might like to subscribe to my RSS feed to get regular updates on what's new at Babylicious. Thanks for visiting!

After letters and numbers, the next subject surely must be colours, so here are the flash cards I made for Gavin on colours:

Even if I didn’t really see much value in Thomas from an educational standpoint beyond the teaching of values in some of the stories they showed in the series, I’ve realised that the creators been rather clever to incorporate numbers (1-10) and colours, making it easier for parents like me to teach those topics to children who are mad about Thomas.

With the topic still on trains, it comes as no surprise that Gavin likes the flash cards I made for him on colours.  However, he was most interested in the new pictures and the new trains that I added rather than the old pictures I recycled from the alphabet flash cards I made previously.  Point to note: even though it takes more time, it’s worth the extra effort to look for new Thomas pictures rather than recycling the pictures from the old slides.

Now we’ll have to think of what else I can teach Gavin using Thomas and Friends pictures…
