Can you guess? Animal shape recognition flashcard deck

Welcome to the ‘Can you guess? Animal shape recognition flashcard deck’, an educational resource that helps children recognise animals by guessing what they are from beautifully rendered watercolour shapes.

Ask the children ‘can you guess?’ Then after they have interacted, flip the card to reveal gorgeously photographed animals along with their name. Not only will it introduce the animal names and spelling to the children but will encourage discussion about their habitat, species and character. This deck is suitable for all ages and can be used any way you like.

This deck contains one intro card, and 36 animal cards.
