Kids - Flashcards "Money"

FLASHCARDS

I created these fun flashcards with my 5 year old. I was wanting him to learn the difference in the coins and start learning how to count money. So he helped me make these cute flashcards - yes using real money - out of some blank playing cards and playing card box kit that came in my Club Stamp kit this month. All materials shown in this project are from Club Scrap.

Supply list:

Playing Cards (blank): Club Scrap October Wild West Kit
Playing Card Box (blank): Club Scrap October Wild West Kit
Rubberstamps: Club Scrap
Inks
Adhesive
Glue dots
Various coins

1. Take blank playing card box and blank playing cards, ink all edges using a sponge.
2. Rubberstamp images and words onto box.
3. Fold up box and adhere side and bottom closed.
4. Take playing cards and stamp images on both sides, leaving space on one side for attaching coins.
5. Stamp the coin amount on one side of card and adhere the coins that equal that amount on the otherside.
6. Now the child can look at the coins on one side and determine the amount, turn card over to see if they got it correct or not.

Since my son is young and just beginning, I started very simple with variations like this:

1 penny = 1¢
1 nickel = 5¢
1 dime = 10¢
2 pennies = 2¢
2 nickels = 10¢
2 dimes = 20¢
3 pennies = 3¢
3 nickels = 15¢
3 dimes = 30¢
4 pennies = 4¢
4 nickels = 20¢
1 nickel + 5 pennies = 10¢
5 pennies = 5¢
5 nickels = 25¢
1 nickel + 1 dimes = 15¢
1 quarter = 25¢
2 nickels + 1 dime = 20¢
1 nickel + 2 dimes = 25¢

Good luck and have fun!!
