Product Description

Product Description

These large, double-sided flashcards are perfect to help very young children develop early reading and number skills. Each card shows a brightly coloured illustration on one side, with the matching word written clearly underneath. On the back of each card is the word on its own, with no picture. Very young children will enjoy just naming the items in the picture, and you can add to their vocabulary skills by asking them questions about what they see: what colour is the apple? What sound does a duck make? which butterfly is green? They will get used to seeing the written word underneath the picture, and parents can help by pointing out the word and breaking down the spelling. Eventually children will recognise the word without the picture, and you can show them the back of the cards to see if they can work out what the word is, and therefore the picture on the other side. Older children can also try to copy the words, and to look out for the letters in their own name. Children also enjoy sorting games, so you can ask them to find all the animal cards, or all the cards with food on. As well as helping with their literacy skills, some of the cards show numbers of things ('six pencils', 'five butterflies'), so they can practise their counting skills. Aimed at children aged 3 and over, even younger children will find plenty to enjoy with these brightly coloured cards.

Product Description

Colourful cards to aid early reading and counting skills. The flashcards are designed to help your child build up a collection of words that will help them to develop early reading skills. The bright, colourful pictures will help your child to associate with the words easier. Contains 50 cards.

very nice but flimsy 21 Oct 2009
By Jenny
Durability:    Educational:    Fun:   
I just received these through the post today and was really surprised how beautiful the illustration were, its for my little girl who is almost 3, but I have a 1 year old and he attacked them straight away and has bent a few already, it is really really thin and flimsy, I think I will have to go invest in some stickyback paper to maintain them. I expected them to be more sturdy, even hardback because of the price is a bit higher than several other flash cards but the illustrations are really nice

A bit disapointing 1 April 2009
Durability:    Educational:    Fun:   
These cards are really nice, bright and clear but far too flimsy and thin to last very long with kids. Thought they would be stiffer or laminated.

Fun and educational! 26 Mar 2009
Durability:    Educational:    Fun:   
My little girl loves this set of flash cards! They're very educational and fun at the same time. The time spent with your child going through them day by day is also invaluable. They are made of thin card and so tend to get bent in the hands of curious toddlers, but hey, a few tatty flash cards is secondary when it comes to their vocabulary!
