Printable Transportation Flashcards

Is your little one fascinated with transportation? If so, our flash cards are the perfect tool to teach your youngster all about different types of transport, whether your child enjoys a journey in the car, a fun train ride, or if they love to gaze at the planes high up in the sky.

Transport is one of the first things our children notice about the world around them. Every time they see a bright red fire engine and hear a noisy siren, or if they take the bus to nursery or school, our kids learn about how we use transportation to travel to where we want to go, for our jobs, or just for fun.

We have free printable flashcards for 24 different kinds of transportation for your little one to learn about and discuss. Is their favorite kind of transport on one of the cards? How many of the different types of transport have they traveled on? Do they know what each vehicle is used for, whether it’s for a job or just for fun? Which do they think is the fastest way to travel, and which is the slowest?

These flashcards are excellent for showing children the varied types of transport in our world and for sparking lots of fun discussions. They’re ideal for helping your child learn lots of new vocabulary, and help them develop their language and memory skills.
