My First Touch and Feel Language Picture Cards: First Words (My First Board Books)

These flashcards are actually really great for early learning. The “touch and feel” textures keep my Grand interested longer than I expected, which is saying a lot because this tiny human has an attention span that usually lasts about 3 seconds. The pictures are bright and easy to recognize, and I like that they’re sturdy enough to survive being grabbed, chewed, and at times dramatically tossed around. Overall, a fun, interactive set that makes learning feel like playtime instead of a work. Would definitely recommend for busy little hands.

These exceeded my expectations. They are a thick card, others have been bent and torn, not an issue with these. They also have really cute texture on each card. The toast with jelly has a sticky corner which is great for sensory play. My 16 month old is already saying a few new words and we’ve only used them twice. He also loves taking them out of the box and putting them back, keeping him entertained.

My daughter loves these cards. The jelly card is no longer sticky, but she still likes to dump out all the cards and also tries to put them back in the box. The box is very sturdy and has a velcro dot closure. The cards a fairly sturdy as well. Some of the touch and feel parts aren't really feely as they are only shiny foil "painted" on, so it's more of a visual kind of thing. Since getting these cards and the other three sets, my daughter has quickly learned all the words. It is quite amazing. She also likes to open all the boxes and dump the cards out in a big pile. Then she stands on the pile and slips around on them. She sometimes lies down and makes "flash card angel" which just makes a huge mess. The worst part is me having to separate out the cards. Some cards are similar to others in the other boxes. We have two tractors, two trains, two buses, two dogs, two cats, but each one is a slightly different view. I think these cards helped a lot. I ask her to get a specific card and she looks for it and gives it to me. I also show her cards and she tells me what is on the card. She also will run off and get her toy that is the same as the card. For instance, the dog card, she goes to get her stuffed dog which looks completely different from the one on the card, but she knows that they are both dogs. She'll point to the card, and then to the toy and repeat the word. Sometimes I end up with a big pile of her toys that match those on the cards. Overall these cards are a good value. They are much more sturdy than other cards (Baby Einstein) that she has. She likes to feel the textures on the card too. The images are big and clear without distractions on the card itself.

Love love love these first words flash cards. They have touch and feel on the front of each flash card. They have engaging questions on the back of the card to help the learning and thought process of the child. The flash cards also have translations of the item of the card in different languages such as Chinese and German. The foreign languages also have a pronunciation key to help say the word correctly in a different language. These cards are good for learning first words at the baby stage, but will also go well into the toddler years with all of the engaging questions on the back. Some question on the back of the card are. ~~~~~~~~Apple~~~~~~~~~~ (1. What is the name of this fruit? (2. Does the apple feel rough or smooth? (3. What does an apple taste like? (4.What sound does the "apple" start with? (5. Let's look at the other cards in the pack. Can you find any more things that you can eat? Then it has apple translated in Spanish, French, German and Chinese. These cards are fantastic and my 6 month old baby loves playing with them they have a jelly card that is actually sticky! So neat! I plan to buy more MY First cards they are worth every penny.

This product is all around awesome. The card size, weight, pictures, textures, foreign language translations and prompting questions are all perfect in addition to being in a kid-friendly, cute box. This is one of my son's favorite toys and has been for 6+ months as he continues to find new things about them that he likes as he develops. First, it was the textures and pictures. Now, he's more into word association and putting the cards in and out of the box which is so amazingly well thought out yet simple. You wouldn't think it took any though. The small velcro tab is secure enough to keep the cards inside but easy enough for a small infant or toddler to open by themselves which they love doing as soon as they realize they can do things. As any primary caretaker can attest, sometimes you have no steam left for that little bundle of joy whose curiousity never ends. Although I don't use the questions on the back of the cards a lot, I like that they're there because, in those moments, they're handy. I have a feeling that as he starts foreign language classes, we'll be using the translations. I'd pay $25 for this product if I had to do it over again knowing what a fun, educational, interesting and dynamic toy this is for any small child.

I bought these cards to teach my kid some words to impress my friends. Just kidding, kind of. This is a set of nice, durable flashcards that's appropriate for young children. Many of the cards have different textures or colors that are interesting in addition to the picture of the card. For example, the tractor picture has textured wheels, the corn on the cob is bumpy like real corn, the cat is furry, etc. I think it adds an nice additional element of sensory details. My son really enjoys the cards and he is learning the words! He also likes taking the cards out of the box. It comes in a cardboard, durable box with a velcro top. Sometimes he just likes taking the cards in and out of the box, which is good for motor development and whatnot, so all around this is a good learning product.

My two year old son has some communication delays and this set was modeled and reccomended by our assigned early childhood special educator. He enjoys them - they are made of high quality materials, vibrantly colorful, as one would expect from a DK product, and each card is embedded with a texture; for example, the jelly card has a tacky feeling corner and the cat card has a furry patch on its chest. The suggested dialogue located on the back of the card is excellent. Targeted strategies, such as use of cards like these, are helping my son meaningfully develop his communication skills. He isn’t quite caught up but we are seeing progress.

These cards actually exceeded my expectations. I was skeptical to get them for my 4th kiddo (9 months old) because I didn't use anything like this for my other kids (and, if I'm being really honest, I wanted flash cards that were like the Indestructible books that he could chew on and they wouldn't get destroyed). But wow! These are STURDY. Not indestructible but any means, but not flimsy at all. I would not let your kiddos chew on them -- they will not last. But my son did try to bend them and they held strong! And the pictures are beautiful. The "feely" parts are really well done, and the case is sturdy -- it even has a velcro closure. I think it's important to know, though, that I would not consider these "first words" necessarily, but some of them are (dog, cat, apple, ball, etc...but also jelly, fire truck, keys, mirror) ! No issue for me at all. They are just fun flash cards to touch, and I was impressed at how well they kept my 9 month old's attention. He and his 3 year old brother love the jelly card in particular -- it's sticky and fun to touch. I also love how they use real pictures of each instead of cartoon drawings. I will be buying other sets for sure!

Helped my son learn the names of all the items on the cards and name them again in real life. At 2 he is very confident with them all.

My daughter loves to touch and feel these flash card. Size is right and of good quality!

Plz buy this, best thing you can get your toddler to do n it's engaging.

Muy buen material, resistente, de calidad. Mi hija lo amo

These cards are a great baby gift! I have used them from 6 months to 4 years. Great for kids to play classroom with each other. Textures are nice and the cards are sturdy
