Cards

I don't know when my love affair with flash cards began. I think it was when my son first started to figure out colors, shapes and such. I bought them up by the boat loads. They were fun.....for a while. Then they were just a mess.

I first used the boxes they came in to keep them together, but they were quickly ripped up. Then I tried rubber bands but that didn't work either. Finally we just ended up mixing them and throwing them in a little tub. Sadly I didn't pull them out for a long time because I knew the mess they would make and I didn't want to deal with it.
While I was visiting my sister in law, I saw these when we went shopping and couldn't resist mostly because my son is very into outer space and dinosaurs.

Luckily someone told me about punching holes in the corners and putting in a loose leaf binder ring to keep them together. GENIUS! Why didn't I think of it before???
I am loving the new system and now we pull out our flash cards all the time. Oh, loose leaf binder rings, I love you so!
