Learn Dutch: Kitchen Tools – Picture-Word Match for Kids

In this picture-word match your child links each drawing to the right Dutch word, simply by drawing a line from the picture to its name. On one side are the spoons, whisks and pans as pictures; on the other are the Dutch words that go with them. Your child looks at a drawing, reads through the Dutch vocabulary, and decides which name belongs to it. So they learn to connect a picture with its written Dutch name — a soft, happy first step into the language. There is nothing to spell and nothing to search for, only reading, thinking, and joining. Let your child work at their own pace: no timer and no score, just one picture at a time matched to the right Dutch word with a single line.

In this picture-word match your child links each drawing to the right Dutch word. The spoons, whisks and pans 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.

And once your child is in the swing of it, a whole free collection built around the kitchen tools 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!
