Learn Dutch: Bakery Treats – Picture-Word Match for Kids

Picture and word become a pair here: your child links the bagels, buns and cakes with their Dutch names. They read the Dutch vocabulary calmly, match the right word to each picture, and draw a line between them. So their Dutch vocabulary grows in the friendliest way, because your child recognizes the written words and ties them to things they already know. There is nothing to write — only reading, thinking, and joining, first Dutch made hands-on. The task keeps no pace and no score, just the cosy matching your child does in their own rhythm. You can print it for free or open it online to play together, until every line is in place and each picture has found its Dutch word.

In this picture-word match your child links each drawing to the right Dutch word. The bagels, buns and cakes stand ready as pictures, with their Dutch names beside them. Your child reads, thinks, and draws a line to the right word. So they learn to connect a picture with its written Dutch name — no pressure, at their own pace, with no score. Because nothing has to be written, reading and recognizing take centre stage, and that is just what makes first steps into Dutch so light and welcome for your child. Dutch likes to join small words together, so a single word can grow surprisingly long.

Has your child had so much fun connecting? Then there is plenty more to discover! The matches about the winter things and the ones with household things hold fresh pictures and new Dutch words looking for their partners. And once your child is in the swing of it, a whole free collection built around the bakery treats is ready to go — free to print or simply to play online. That way learning Dutch stays varied and gives a little fresh pleasure each day, all at your child’s own pace. Have fun reading, thinking, and connecting together!
