My First Touch and Feel Cards: Animals
Flashcards for babies? That was popular in the 1980s. Surely in the 40 years since, something better has been designed. It has. My First Touch and Feel Cards: Animals are classical educational flashcards but souped-up for today's babies. The set includes 16 sturdy hardboard cards, each suitably thick to withstand clumsy small hands and coated with a wipe-clean covering. Every beautifully-designed photo depicts the name of an everyday item. It also includes a textured portion - fluffy, bumpy, or fuzzy - for your baby to touch and feel. It is perfect for encouraging sensory processing.
However, the back of the card makes the My First Touch and Feel Cards: Animals an educational treasure chest. Expertly designed to enhance early language development, on the back of each card is a host of questions for parents to ask, from the obvious to the creative. For parents who find themselves asking only "what is this" questions, the prompts on the back of the My First Touch and Feel Cards: Animals allow for more open-ended questions.
Plus, each box includes ideas for using the flashcards, including simple games. My First Touch and Feel Cards: Animals are excellent for helping young children develop their verbal skills and vocabulary. The card deck comes in a strong cardboard box with a Velcro closure. The words taught in My First Touch and Feel Cards: Animals include children's favorite animals, including puppies, kittens, rabbits, cows, turtles, horses, and more!
