offers two brands of flashcards: School Zone (this one) and Brighter Child. It's hard to tell the difference from reading the Product Descriptions, so I bought the Alphabet flashcards from both brands to try them out. Both brands are about the same size and provide 2 flashcards for each letter. I think the School Zone flashcards are better in several respects: * The School Zone cards have 2 different pictures for each letter. E.g., for the letter "A", School Zone has an Apple card and an Ant card. The Brighter Child cards have two identical Apple cards (one has a capital A and one has a lower case a). The different pictures on the School Zone cards allow for a good match-the-letter game. * The School Zone cards have the letter and word written on the back, so the parent knows what is on the other side and older kids can learn to read the words. E.g., the back of the Apple card says "Aa" and "apple" on the back. The Brighter Child cards have a generic design on the back of every card (sort of like a deck of playing cards). * The illustrations on the School Zone Cards are higher quality original artwork and more engaging. The illustrations on the Brighter Child cards have a grainy look, like someone downloaded free clip-art and enlarged them. * The School Zone cards are made in USA. Brighter Child is made in Vietnam. So the School Zone cards have a smaller carbon footprint just from being shipped a shorter distance and probably were made in a more environmentally-responsible manner * And finally, the School Zone cards are cheaper
Great pictures, great size, and when they've got a hole punched in the corner (drilled through at Kinko's, threaded through a notebook ring), they make a great travel toy. However, the lamination is a little flimsy, so they're not as durable as I'd like them to be. That being said, the person who uses them (every day!) is under age 2, so he's probably tougher on them than an older pre-reader or new reader would be.
I like these cards. I'm using them with my son who is not quite 2 1/2 so we only look at a few at a time. One corner is rounded which is genius for putting the stack back together facing the correct way. I think we'll get a lot of use out of these. Each letter has 2 cards we can play matching games down the road.
I bought this to play games with my 2 year old, who is not yet talking. We take turns "playing cards" by choosing a card, then placing it on the discard pile. We work on labeling, letters, and letter sounds. I also have a four year old, who likes to play too. We play different games with these same cards!The pictures are great and the cards are made of quality material. The cards are big too, which makes them good for little hands to hold!
These flash cards are exactly what I was looking for. I talk to my 4-year old granddaughter on Skype and we work with these flash cards for part of our time to help her learn the alphabet. The pictures on the cards are nice and cute, not gaudy.
My 2 year old daughter loves these cards. She likes the animals and the letters. I'll hand them to her, tell her the letter and the picture, and she will take it from me. She'll look at it for a moment and then put it down next to her and look at me for the next one.I was surprised that she was so fascinated. True, it's educational. But I think she likes it because we are both definitely talking about the same thing. She likes to hold and manipulate the little cards.They are fairly tough, but not indesctructible. I like the design of the corners that helps me get them straightened up quickly. It also helps that the back of the card had a description of the picture.We get a lot of fun from these cards, and if they become destroyed by repeated fun we'll buy another set.
I love doing flashcards with my son. He is under the age range for this, but it is great to expose him to new words and pictures. All of the edges are rounded and not sharp. I think there are 40+ cards in each stack. Not a bad price either.
Bought this for my two year old twin nieces, they love them. They learned all the letters & have made up there own games. Great learning tool that Is also fun. The characters are cute & the lettering is easy to see. Definitely recommend.
