Transportation & Vehicles flashcards.

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.

Four ways that work.

You do not need a plan or a printer schedule. Pick one idea, try it for two minutes and see what happens.

1. 01

   Run the vehicle hunt

   Pull a card, name one of its four vehicles, then hunt: spot a real bus, a delivery van, a bicycle from the window or on a walk. Spotting is the transport theme’s heart — every real sighting "checks off" a card.

2. 02

   Sort by where they go

   Land cards in one pile, water in another, air in a third, construction on the floor. Sorting by where a vehicle travels is a first classification lesson — and every family sorts the tricky ones (a seaplane? an amphibian?) differently, which is the best kind of argument.

3. 03

   Follow the age pills

   Every card carries an age pill. The everyday vehicles — car, bus, train, school bus, fire engine — are Ages 3+; the specialist machines are Ages 4–5. Start where your child’s eyes already go.

4. 04

   Count the wheels

   Four wheels on the car, many wheels on the articulated bus, none on the hang glider. Wheel counting turns the whole set into early maths — and a figure-hunt for the vehicles that roll on tracks instead.
