Welcome to Playful Preschool! This weeks theme is HATS.
For todays playful preschool I have a lovely mix and match printable for you. Download it at the bottom of this post, but first some pics!
These cards were a ton of fun to play with! Once we had successfully matched and named the cards you can start making funny combinations by placing the incorrect head and hat on the various bodies.
As an added learning feature you could also write the names of the service people on the cards.
On these cards you can see: Pilot, Fireman, Policeman, Construction Worker, Cowboy, Sailer, Shepard and Astronaut.
These cards are made to my standard template just like my number cards for 1-10.
You can either print these on stock cards or paper and laminate them. These cards are made to the size of this laminating pouch which ensures I don’t have to cut each and every card a second time. It also makes the cards uniform which is great for storage.
Love it? Pin it!

I love this. I don’t know if the characters were intended to be gender neutral, but they seem masculine to me. Are there any female cards?
Ashley says
Duly noted!

Hi! Thanks for sharing this! I do have a question though, from the picture when you laminate this, it is exactly the size of the laminating pouch. I purchase the laminating pouch from your link, but when I print out the printables and cut them out, and put them in the laminating pouch there are still spaces on the top n bottom, it looks as the card is smaller than the pouch? Did you enlarge them when you were printing them out? Thank you!
Nicolette Roux says
nope they were not enlarged at all. There are also small spaces on mine its not a 100% fit.
Annelie says
Cards last longer if they have a blank space around them to seal them into the laminate properly. If the laminate does not go over the edges of the cards, they are not waterproof and spills could ruin your cards. They also tend to get dog-eared and peel apart from the corners if the laminate is only front and back and not around the edges.

These are so great! My 3 year old is currently obsessed with hats and would love this activity. Thank you for sharing.

Thank you! I plan to use them with my pre-k students as we’re studying community workers. 🙂
Cerys says
I love this so much – Printing it out as I type to put together a set for our speech sessions as we play games and this is a great alternative.
Amanda says
These are so cute! The activity would be a perfect one to slip into a purse and play at the doctors office or while waiting for food at a restaurant!
