Learn Dutch: Desserts and Sweets – Picture-Word Match for Kids

Which Dutch name goes with which picture? Your child answers that with a single line. They look at the cupcakes, lollipops and pies, read the Dutch words on offer, and join each drawing to the right word. Along the way they learn how the Dutch names of familiar things look in writing, tying the picture to the written word. This kind of practice is quiet and friendly, because it is all about reading and matching — not about writing anything yourself. Let your child think as long as they need; a connection may be redrawn at any moment. The loveliest moment is when a line runs from every picture to its matching Dutch word and the whole match is complete.

Which Dutch word goes with which picture? Your child joins the matching pairs: they study the cupcakes, lollipops and pies, read the Dutch names, and draw a line from each picture to the right word. With every connection it sinks in how the Dutch name of a familiar thing looks. So their Dutch vocabulary grows step by step, with no rush and in real calm. Your child may think as long as they need, discovering in the friendliest way what the things they already know are called in Dutch. 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 birds and the ones with clothes 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 sweet 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!
