After you've put in your email address into the box, check your inbox for the confirmation email. Open the email and click on the button to confirm your subscription. You'll get a second email with a link to download the printable. Download the PDF from the protected page. Print the first two pages twice and laminate them for long-term use. Then, cut out all the cards and separate them by sets. Leave one set of cards exactly as they are- with the picture and label attached. With the second set of cards, cut the label off the pictures to make two piece. The card with a picture and label, the card with just a picture, and the card with the label now make the three parts of the traditional Montessori 3-part cards.
Once you have the three cards, you can present them to your child in the traditional Montessori method. Have the child match the picture card with the label to the other two cards. They can also match the Safari Ltd Monarch Butterfly Life Cycle Set to the picture cards or label the figurines with the cards. The child can also spell out the words with a movable alphabet like printable cards or shaped letters.
