I am a speech-language pathologist, and many of the children I work with benefit from using touch to learn. However, the cards in this set are not good for learning the shapes because the "feel" portions of the card are not always in the shape being described! A child should not be feeling a crooked ribbon shape while s/he hears the word square! Also, there is no need to have color associated with touch, because color is purely visual. Touching a fuzzy duckling and saying yellow is going to confuse a language impaired child and perhaps some very young children. It would be better to have more shapes (made properly) or numbers.Throw these away and start over, DK. I know you can do better!
The "touch and feel" aspect of these cards are the real drawback here. That was why I bought these flashcards instead of plain ones, but most of the textures are the same, and very smooth, so there is not much to actually feel. Also, there is a picture of a dress, purse, and girls' ballet slippers, so they are a bit gender biased as well.
We own 3 other boxes of these touch and feel picture cards and absolutely love them for helping our 1 year old learn new words! I wanted this specific set to help with colors.This specific box is probably my least favorite. Most of the cards have 2 words on them (I. E. Brown and cake for cake). This is confusing. Almost too much going on on the cards. Now, I'm sure as she gets older it won't be an issue, but it does make it a little difficult when trying to associate the text with the sounds and picture. Nevertheless, I'm still glad we have this set for our collection!
This is my 3rd set of my first cards that I own and although I love them all, this set is probably our least favorite. They are great cards but like previous reviewers wrote, it does get confusing for toddlers when they see a dress but are referencing it as "purple" or see a present and have to call it a "square". These cards are a great concept but may be a bit too confusing for my little toddler. One plus with this set is that there is a lot of cards - 16 of them and plenty to touch and feel.
These cards are WONDERFUL!! My son is now 4 and has autism and has not yet said a single word, but we have 4 different packs of these cards that he just loves and we use to teach him words. Even though he doesn't speak, we know he knows what things are because we can ask him to find a card of whatever it is and he'll pull it out and show us. We've owned these since he was diagnosed at 18 months and most of them have held up really really well! He also has sensory issues and loves how some of them are textured. For those of you who are church goers, these cards are something great to take to church because they come in a great velcro box and they're QUIET! Very pleased with these cards! Highly recommend!
I'm very impressed with these! We started using these with my 12 month old. We really want to attempt to teach him Spanish and English so it was a great surprise that in the back of each card is how to say the words in multiple languages. My son love when we pull these cards out. The touch and feel is what really keeps him engaged and I love the color and sturdiness of each card. These have really helped him learn these words. When we go for walks I have noticed that he points and says the words. I was worried that the cards would ruin or bend easily. That is not the case with these. Great quality.
These cards are fantastic. My 16 month old loves them- she plays and sorts through them, likes to look and feel the textures. Best of all, she has learned words like "ball" and "Apple" because of it. As she gets older, I'd like to work with her on identifying these objects in other languages, which are listed on the backsides. There are also helpful activity suggestions for caregivers on them. Will be getting all of the card varieties for sure!
One of the best sets of flash cards, out of all the ones I've seen these are hands down the best ever the kids love the fact that their not only super cute images but each one has a different touch and feel spot which makes them even more fun for the kids and comes with other little game ideas for the flash cards, all together a GREAT BUY
