Educational Alphabet Flash Cards Review

I love flash cards. I know some people don't really like them, but I think they are one of the most affordable products available to teach children.

Educational Toys Planet gave me Alphabet Flash Cards to review. Educational Toys Planet is an awesome website, that allows you to easily sort products by age, gender, price and category. They have a gift finder, which lets you search all of them at one time. A wish list and gift registry are available, and they ship free if you order over $75 of product. Although I didn't order from their website, the shipping was very quick, and testimonials from customers also rave of the quick shipping times.

The flash cards themselves were Alphabet Flash Cards from School Zone. They are quality flash cards. They have good color and are sturdy cardboard. They are made of nice smooth cardboard, not the cheaper rough kind.

Each card has a picture on one side and a letter on the other side. My only complaint is also something I like about it. Some of the pictures are somewhat obscure for alphabet flash cards. For instance, these cards are recommended for children as young as 3 years old, and I am pretty sure that most children that young would guess that the "J is for jet" is more of an "A is for airplane". I can see this as something some people might not like, but as I love to teach kids new vocabulary it works great for me. There are cards for every letter of the alphabet, both uppercase and lowercase.

Hadlee already knows her letters, and Miss Baby is to young to learn them, but they were good for quick review for Hadlee, and teaching Miss Baby the names of different things. The cards come with Parent Card with ideas for how to use the cards in creative ways, which is awesome, because just drilling flash cards can get old for kids.

I was really happy with the quality of the flash cards and the shipment speed from Educational Toys Planet.

I received one or more of the products mentioned above for free using Tomoson.com. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers.

Giveaway closed! Thank you so much to everyone who entered, I really appreciate it! I have excellent news! Today is Manipulatives Monday, and Mother Goose Time is giving away a great prize! One lucky winner will receive TWO bags of manipulatives! Mother Goose Time will chose the prizes, but I assure you, whatever they send will be a lot of fun for your children! Manipulatives are a big hit in our house. Every month we get two new bags of manipulatives, and every month Little Guy asks if he can play with them before the month starts. The answer is always no, but he tries every month anyways. During the month we use them for the assigned activities but after we are done with the curriculum, I let him add them to his toy collection. One thing that is in almost every box is a set of counters. These are often in the shape of animals, which are Little Guy's favorites. They are used for a variety of activities, and are alwa...

Breastfeeding An Adopted Child - The Tenth Day of Christmas

Today we are hearing from Teglene. Her story is pretty long, but trust me, it is totally worth reading through! She also has a great blog, called The Breastfeeding Mother . I always knew I wanted to breastfeed my children. I couldn ’t imagine doing it any differently. I was lucky enough to give birth to two beautiful boys and I enjoyed breastfeeding them both. Not that it was easy or without struggle, but it was what I wanted to do and loved doing it. In fact, I liked it so much, and felt so passionate about breastfeeding that I became a La Leche League Leader, so that I could help other breastfeeding moms. I really took to the idea of “Mothering through breastfeeding”. It wasn ’t just a feeding method for me, but a relationship with my child. My husband and I always talked about adopting a child who needed a family. We thought, if we can’t have kids of our own then we will adopt. Even if we can have kids of our own, maybe we will still adopt. After the birt...
