Garden Friends flashcards.
Eighteen cards about the animals who live around your house: in the hedge, under the tree, by the pond. Rabbits, hedgehogs, ducks and friends — every one looked at from a kind distance, never grabbed.
These cards belong to School Garden · Age 2 on the Kiddo School learning path.
Every card in the set.
Each card has its own page: the picture and short, practical notes for grown-ups — what it is for, how to use it, how to print it. Tap any card to open it.

You do not need a plan or a printer schedule. Pick one idea, try it for two minutes and see what happens.
- 01
Match card to real life
Keep two or three cards by the window. When a bird lands or a squirrel dashes by, grab the card and match it — the garden becomes part of the deck.
- 02
Move like the animal
Hop like a rabbit, waddle like a duck, scurry like a squirrel. Toddlers remember animals in their legs before they remember them in words.
- 03
Wild means look-only
Say the rule gently and often: wild animals stay wild — we watch, we wave, we never grab. It is the kindest thing a two-year-old can learn about animals.
- 04
Two cards per walk
Pick the rabbit and the bird card, then see which one shows up first. A small deck travels light and keeps the game going all the way round the block.
Print the set, download a card.
Every card page has its own download button with the full-size image. The full set has a print-ready page too.

How did it go?
One tap, no writing, no name. Pick the face that matches how it went — reactions are counted instantly and stay anonymous.
Parent reviews.
A different thing from the quick faces above: a star rating for the grown-ups, plus an optional line about how it went. Every review is read by the school office before it appears.
