Sort by category: cut out the pictures and stick each one in the box of its category

First two, three or four large boxes, one per page, each with the picture and the name of a category: animals, fruit. Then the labels to cut out, a picture and its word, all the same size. With no name or instruction, it is material to laminate, made like « Sort by part of speech »: the child puts the cat with the animals, the apple with the fruit, and starts again. If your list has a single category, Lexikit borrows the second one from your other resources or from the lexicon.
