My Take on the CardsMy youngest, Diva-PJ is getting into learning. She is starting to learn her letters and even some words. We challenge her, and though she is only three she eats it up and seems to love the challenge. With this in mind these cards were welcome additions to our resources. The cards are beautiful, full color cards that jump off the paper that they are made on.
The rhyming cards are good for helping children with simple rhyming skills. With 52 cards in the deck you can do a lot with the cards. There are also two games that you can play with the cards so you have some good options at your fingertips as you are using them, Diva-PJ liked playing Go Fish the most!
The Alphabet cards have the same games as the rhyming cards, but Diva-PJ seemed to like matching with these cards more than the other cards. I cannot say why this was the case, but it was.
All-in-all I was impressed with these cards and so was Diva-PJ. I know that these cards will be with us for some time and they will greatly assist us in her overall education as well.
