Why make your own printable toddler cards

Many parents want printable flashcards for toddlers, but a set built from your own pictures and words can fit what your child is learning right now better than a generic sheet. DeckOwl reads photos of pages, slides and notes, then turns them into flashcards you can review.

  • Use photos of your child's picture books as the source
  • Keep one concept per card, such as a word with its picture
  • Review the cards yourself before each session
  • Export a PDF on Plus when you want a printed set
Example toddler flashcards: picture words and first concepts
Picture of a cow: which animal says moo?A cow. Point to the picture and make the sound together.
Name the three primary colorsRed, yellow and blue.
Shape with three sidesA triangle. Trace the shape with a finger while you say its name.
Which number comes right after 4?5 (five). Count out loud with real objects, like blocks.
Which body part do we use to hear?Ears. Touch your ears and name them each time you say the word.

Built from your material

Upload a photo of a picture book page, a word list or handwritten notes, and get cards that match what you are teaching.

Spaced repetition

Cards you miss come back sooner, so the words that need more practice get more time.

PDF export on Plus

Plus includes PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV export, so you can print a set or share it.

Study in the browser on the free plan, or export a PDF on Plus.

PDF export is a paid feature. It is included with Plus at $39/year or $7.99/month, while the free plan lets you study in the browser with 3 generations per month. Keep sessions short, stop when your toddler loses interest, and repeat favorite cards over several days instead of in one long sitting.

Frequently asked questions

How many flashcards should a toddler see in one session?

Short sessions of a few cards work best, and it is better to stop while your toddler is still interested. Come back to the same cards over several days.

What should each toddler flashcard show?

Use one clear picture and one word or simple idea per card, such as a color, an animal or a number. Avoid putting several concepts on the same card.

Can I print DeckOwl flashcards as a PDF?

Yes, but PDF export is included with Plus at $39/year or $7.99/month. The free plan lets you study the cards in your browser.

Do I need a credit card to start?

No. You can start on the free plan with 3 generations per month and no credit card.
