Toddler Learning Printables for Ages 2 to 3, Picture Cards and Puzzles
Five minute play sessions that build first words, colors and counting, with no planning on your part.
Overview
These toddler learning printables are made for 2 and 3 year olds, with large, clear line drawings that introduce first words, shapes, colors, animal noises, opposites, simple puzzles and counting to five. In 24 pages you get two sets of first words cards (24 in total), memory match cards, 12 puzzles to cut out, scribble pages and a routine chart for the day, as a PDF in US Letter and A4 that downloads instantly.
Every page has a short note for the grown-up, so you can simply sit down together and play.
How these toddler learning printables make play easy
Choose one page and spend five minutes on it. Quack together when you point to the duck, find the little apple beside the big one, draw a crayon line between two matching pictures or count four stars out loud.
Once printed on card stock, the picture cards and puzzles turn into real games for little hands. The routine chart helps your toddler see what is coming next, and the scribble, coloring and counting pages can be printed again any time.
