🌼 A Note from a Montessori Guide

In a Montessori environment, flash cards are not used for drilling. They serve as a quiet reference tool, paired with real specimens whenever possible. Take these outdoors, press a few favorites between book pages, or set them beside a vase of cuttings on the nature table. The card supports the experience. The experience comes first.
