My son cannot stand traditional flash cards. I have to try to get creative. When I saw this idea forKnock-Knock Valentines on Silly Eagle Books, I knew this is exactly what I needed. You will need construction paper, glue, scissors, stickers, a marker, and the lid to travel size baby wipes.

Here is an example of the baby wipe lids I am referring to. I just pulled them right off of the package after I used all of them.

Draw lines on a sheet of construction paper dividing it into fourths. I had my son cut along the lines. Moms can take over this task if the little one isn’t quite ready for this yet.

Have your child put a designated number of stickers on the top of each wipe lid. For this post we did numbers 3 and 5 (but we have done 1-10).

Now put a bead of glue around the bottom of the wipe lid. A neat way to get your child involved with this step is to put some glue in a small bowl and let them apply it with a cotton swab. Glue the wipe lid to a piece of construction paper.

Once the glue dries, open the lid and write the number inside that matches the number of stickers on the lid.

Now your child has an interactive flash card! They can count the number of stickers on the lid and learn to recognize the number by opening their card.

This is great for sight words and introducing math equations for older kids. The possibilities are only limited by your imagination.

What would you put on yours?
