Insectos Trabajo De Emparejar, the insect matching work in Spanish. Pairs of identical pictures to find and put together, on a subject a child can also check outside: the insects on these cards live in the grass by the door, and a match made on the mat can be made again on a path an hour later. The cards are in Spanish. Card stock, full colour, pre cut with rounded corners. The English edition is a separate item.
“Education is a natural process spontaneously carried out by the human individual, and is acquired not by listening to words but by experiences upon the environment.”
The Insectos Trabajo De Emparejar introduces young children to the scientific world of entomology through carefully photographed matching cards. By presenting real insect images with color-coded borders, these cards address the child's sensitive period for order and classification between ages 3-6.
The orange and blue borders on each laminated card create a visual control of error, allowing children to verify their own matching work independently. This insect matching work fulfills the child's need to understand and categorize the natural world through concrete, manipulable materials. The photographic detail on each card respects the child's capacity for careful observation, presenting insects as they truly appear in nature rather than through simplified illustrations. Through repeated pairing of identical insect photographs, children develop the visual discrimination skills that form the foundation for later scientific study. The Insectos cards transform abstract classification concepts into tangible matching work that engages the child's hands and mind simultaneously.


Follow the Montessori method of presentation for optimal child development.
Place the insect cards in a basket on the shelf at child's eye level. Ensure adequate workspace on a mat or table with good lighting to see photographic details clearly.
Invite the child to bring the basket to a work mat
Remove all cards and separate by border color (orange in one pile, blue in another)
Select one orange-bordered card and place it on the left side of the mat
Search through blue-bordered cards to find the matching insect photograph
Place the matching blue card beside its orange partner
Continue until all insects are matched

Everything you need to know about this material.
Contact Our ExpertsThis material is specifically designed for children ages 3-6 years, aligning with the Montessori early childhood curriculum when children are developing visual discrimination skills and beginning to explore the natural world.
The set includes multiple pairs of photographic insect cards with color-coded borders (orange and blue), though the exact number varies. Each insect is represented twice to enable matching activities.
Yes, all cards are professionally laminated to withstand frequent handling by young children, making them ideal for both home and classroom environments where materials need to endure daily use.
The orange and blue borders provide a control of error, allowing children to self-correct by matching insects with the same colored borders. This supports independent learning and builds confidence in classification skills.
The cards feature a variety of common insects photographed in high detail, selected to represent different insect families and characteristics that are easily distinguishable by young children while maintaining scientific accuracy.
