First Words Flashcard Set (54 Cards)
Ships from
The Resource Roost
Why this made the cut
First word cards are a staple in early learning, and this set offers a broad mix of familiar objects, colours, shapes, and everyday concepts at a very accessible price. It’s a practical way to introduce or reinforce early words without needing a large or specialised kit.
R 140.00
This is a budget-friendly find. Materials may be lighter or less refined than premium alternatives, but the core function and play value remain the focus.
How to use at home
Use a small number of cards at a time to avoid overload. You can name the picture, point to the image, or encourage your child to choose a card when you say a word.
Cards can also be used during daily routines, such as mealtimes, getting dressed, or play, by matching words to real-life objects around you.

- Early vocabulary development
- Visual recognition and matching
- Everyday language during routines
- Low-prep learning at home
