Bring handwriting to life. Our newest set has been a long time coming, and I am so glad to finally share it with you. Say hello to the Simply Lettered Print and Cursive Flash Cards, a collection that combines timeless vintage illustrations with real handwriting instruction.
Flash Cards That Teach the Whole Letter
Most alphabet cards show a letter and a picture and stop there. A child sees A and apple, says both, and moves on.
These do something more. Every card in this set carries carefully curated vintage imagery on the front to spark curiosity and conversation, and on the reverse, a step-by-step handwriting guide showing exactly how that letter is formed. Which means every card is two things at once: a recognition tool and a handwriting reference.
A child can look at Max the Fox, say the sound, then flip the card and see precisely where the pencil starts and which way it travels. That is the whole loop, in one card.
What's Inside
The Print and Cursive Flash Cards set includes:
- 72 premium heavy-duty flash cards, 4 by 6 inches
- 26 print alphabet cards
- 26 cursive alphabet cards
- 10 print number cards
- 10 cursive number cards
- A sturdy storage box
Seventy-two cards means this set carries a child from first letter recognition all the way through cursive, without you needing to buy a second set later.
Features
- Vintage inspired artwork on every card
- Step-by-step handwriting guides on the reverse
- Print cards include beginning sound cues for phonics support
- Cursive cards feature the full written word
- Rounded corners and durable cardstock for years of use
- Designed to coordinate with the Simply Lettered Learning Journey
I want to say a word about that durability. These are heavy-duty cards with rounded corners, made to survive being shuffled, dropped, sorted on the floor, and handled by small hands over and over. Flimsy cards get soft and bent within a month. These are built to still be in the box when a younger sibling is ready for them.
Perfect For
- Letter recognition
- Print and cursive handwriting practice
- Phonics and beginning sounds
- Number recognition and formation
- Vocabulary development
- Homeschool lessons
- Classroom literacy centers
- Morning baskets
- Independent review
- Screen-free learning
Whether they come out during a daily lesson, a morning basket, a literacy center, or quiet independent review, these cards ask children to slow down, observe, and enjoy the art of handwriting.
Why We Made Them This Way
As a teacher and early childhood specialist, I believe children learn best when beautiful materials invite them to slow down, observe, and interact with what they are learning.
Somewhere along the way, learning materials for children got loud. Bright plastic, cartoon letters, everything competing for attention. We have taken away the beauty in simplicity, and at Simply Lettered we aim to bring back classic.
That is why the illustrations on these cards look like they came out of an old natural history book. A child studying a zebra rendered in fine ink lines is having a different experience than a child glancing at a clip-art one. They look longer. They ask questions. And the letter sticks because the looking mattered.
More Than Flash Cards
These are conversation starters, handwriting guides, vocabulary builders, and keepsakes designed to be enjoyed for years to come.
