Compound Words Foldable for Kids

This little foldable is a perfect way to teach kids the concept of compound words. This printable includes a foldable with the space for 8 words. There are 3 pictures for each word- the two words that make up the compound word and a picture of the compound word.

The compound words included are:

  • Lighthouse
  • Pancake
  • Skateboard
  • Starfish
  • Spaceship
  • Armchair
  • Butterfly
  • Rainbow

How to Make the Compound Words Foldable

This activity is quite simple to assemble. You will need to print 2 pages: the foldable page and the image page. Kids can color them if desired.

Cut around the foldable template and cut the lines along the side until you reach the dotted lines. There you will fold them inwards.
