🌼 Why There Are No Words on the Cards:
In line with Reggio Emilia philosophy, this set is intentionally wordless. Rather than rushing children to memorize vocabulary, we’ve designed each card to invite observation, curiosity, and conversation.
This encourages open-ended discussion between teacher and child, allowing space for the child to notice details, wonder aloud, and build a connection with the letter — and the world around them.

This strengthens learning through relationship and experience, not just memorization — a key value in both Reggio Emilia and gentle home education.

A printable teacher reference page is included with the full list of nature words featured on each letter card.

🌿 Nature-Inspired Learning:
Each card features a real-life nature photo that begins with the same letter — from Acorn to Zinnia.
Examples include:
A – Acorn
E – Echinacea
K – Kingfisher
U – Ulex (bright yellow gorse flowers)
X – Xerochrysum (paper daisy)

These carefully chosen images create a calming, earthy aesthetic — ideal for cozy homeschool corners or minimalist classroom displays.
