CARDDIAThe 88 Astronomical Constellations Educational Flashcards | Ideal for Astronomy Students and Educators

I have several sets of constellation flash cards /playing cards. Some are prettier than this set, and some are cheaper. But I consider this set the most useful one. Ideally, one side would not have lines at all while the other one would, together with all the relevant information. I suggest taking one constellation at a time, maybe those corresponding to current season, and learning them before moving on. It is also important to learn the names of the 1st magnitude stars together with names of the constellations. All this can be done easily with this set.

Highly informative and better than expected

Cute! Very very small but adorable. Kind of an "airport gift store" novelty. I def wouldn't buy this again but I'm not disappointed. If it was a smidge cheaper I would recommend but def not worth the price.

This kit of flash cards review 88 astronomical constellations. Not only can you teach your kids the constellations, this deck makes a great Christmas stocking stuffer or interesting b-day present!! The card stock is of a decent quality, and (better yet) which are laminated such that if you spill any liquids on it, or your kid drops it in a puddle while waiting for the school bus on a rainy day, you don't end up with a ball of paper mache!! I took off one star because, although the constellation is listed clearly on the back, other information also listed on the back is in such fine print as to render is either a nuisance to read or null and void as far as delivery of any 411. I think this would be great fun to carry in a jacket pocket or a purse and quiz ones self on a plane, train, or bus to better occupy ones time. A constellation list and color coded cards are all included for your entertainment enjoyment!!

Well made, educational cards. Love that it has the star names in the constellations! Highly recommended for amateur and future astronomers.

Excellent, it has totally fulfilled my expectations, it is ideal to teach a child about constellations. My 5-year-old son is happy with them and has learned many more constellations that he already knew before, even now he talks about "sagitta".

Mandatory for the stargazing, summer-break-hating kid in your life! And beautifully designed to boot!

As one reviewer commented, ‘cute’. They really do seem more like a novelty item. There doesn’t seem to be any guidance as to where to look, not even Northern or Southern Hemisphere. The cards seem to be well constructed, but they have no real information about the constellations. Any information that is on a card is generally too small to be of any use especially in low light, like when stargazing. Not something I would give as gift, so it has little value to me.

Great product, but caught out by a £12 VAT and handling fee I wasn't expecting
