Sometimes a little gift goes a long way
Flashcards for babies are one such present
A gift that keeps on giving
An object that gives the gift of learning
The gift of play
The gift of communication
Flashcards can be used in so many ways
For so many things
Here are some packs we have tested
Or have on a wish list
And think would be perfect presents
For a first birthday
These large colourful cards
Are great for older babies and young toddlers
The cards feature words and numbers
So can be used to help with object recognition
Linking words to pictures
They can help with learning to talk
Extending vocabulary
They can support early reading and writing
As well as introducing numbers
Early counting, sequencing and calculating
So much potential from 50 picture cards
In the Orchard Toys styling
That so many children, parents and educators love
There are a few packs to choose from JoJo Maman Bebe
But these three letter word flashcards really caught my eye
Simple objects to identify
Simple words to say
And later to learn to read and write
CVC words
Consonant Vowel Consonant
These are great for developing early language
Looking at objects and saying the word
Bus
Cat
Dog
Jug
Showing a picture and asking baby to say the word
Saying a word and getting baby to pick or point at the right card
Lots of ways to play
To play and learn
These would also be perfect now for Bea
Who, nearly 4, is beginning to read and write
These three letter words
DK My First Touch and Feel Picture Cards
I have seen these on Amazon
And I really like the look of them
Dorling Kindersley My First Touch and Feel Picture Cards
I love that they give words that are frequently used
I love that each card has a sensory element
I think it is a great asset that each card has the word in a variety of languages
These would be great for my 7 year old twins
Who are currently learning Spanish
And for me to brush up on my rusty German
The cards are thick and large
Sturdy enough for baby and toddler play
I love them and will be buying some to try them out
I adore these cards
I would rather like these for me!
I love the quirky style of the art work
These would be perfect for sensory play
Would make a super pretty colour hunt
They are super pretty
And would be treasured long after the baby has grown
A perfect present
With these cards you can
Enjoy exploring colours ‘hidden’ within each animal letter
The double sided cards feature a stylised animal colour
And supporting text for example ‘Red Robin’ on one side
On the other
They feature both a block of colour and the written colour in an easy to read fon
Each pack also includes ‘super special, super shiny’ silver and gold foiled cards
These would be great for creating treasure baskets
Centred around each card
There are 20 double-sided flash cards with a durable finish and rounded corners
Making them perfect for little hands
A wonderful learning resource and works equally well as ‘interactive’ room decor
Packed beautifully in a keepsake box
A gift that keeps on giving
Wee Gallery Animal Alphabet Cards
When Edie was new
I bought her some Wee Gallery Art Cards
So when we were offered some alphabet cards to test I jumped at the chance
These cards are black and white
They are large cards with rounded corners
Perfect for babies and toddlers to hold and manipulate
Edie loves to look through these picture cards
She also loves to take them out of a box
And post them in again
I show her the cards
And tell her the animal on them
We have fun making animal noises
We also order the cards with Bea
While singing the ABC song
This set is lovely for identifying animals
For introducing the alphabet
Letter names and letter sounds
All four of my children have found ways to play
With these beautiful alphabet cards
The sturdy cards are durable and matte laminated
With distinctive Wee Gallery animals on one side
And sans serif letters on the other
We are loving learning and playing with these cards
And they look great out on display too
Flashcards make a great gift for a birthday
And these are our #fiveforafirst
Five perfect presents for a baby’s first birthday
