Speech Therapy Toys & Materials for Toddlers 1-3 & 3-4

My son loves these!

My nephew enjoys picking a card of his choice and making the sounds He is less engaged with the electronic game He is more of a tactile and visual learner

Great pictures. I use these a lot with my preschoolers!!

These are a great learning tool. The picture quality for the value is awesome. Great size too.

I haven't come across other flashcards quite like these, which focus on sound effects, essentially. The cards are large, and double-sided, with a white background and a line of color around the border. Each side begins with a sound, followed by a brief example of someone or something making the sound (subject and verb), and last a picture of the subject. For instance, 'Mwah mwah' / Grandma kisses / picture of an elderly woman kissing a child. The illustrations are large, simple, and clear with plenty of space around them, avoiding overcrowding as well as irrelevant, distracting information. Although focused on the numerous sounds, the cards also reinforce basic sentence structure (subject-verb, and subject-verb-direct object) and vocabulary. This they accomplish partly through the pictures, but also by deliberately casting a wide net with the verbs. The cards don't use the generic expression 'The ____ goes ____.' Instead, the company tried to make them all different from one another, so the various subjects cry, sing, cackle, and so on. The cards seem well-made from a physical standpoint. They are sturdy, and resisted creasing or folding, even when a rough toddler decided to plow through the deck, examining the pictures. The box is similar to a standard tuck box, but for some reason is actually about a finger's width wider than the actual deck. I can't think of a good reason to do this, and though it's not a deal breaker for me, dealing with the skinny cardboard insert that's supposed to fill up the empty space is irritating. I could toss that away, but then the cards will slide around loose inside the box, which would be more susceptible to becoming squished or otherwise misshapen, and if the deck is not lined up, and the box gets crushed in a drawer or the back of a shelf or whatever, the cards could be damaged where some edges stick out from the others. As I say, not the end of the world, but baffling. Besides the box being the wrong size for the cards, I noticed a few minor things, which I'll mention here in case the information is useful. One is that some of the sound effects or terminology differ from the way most Americans would express them. **I'm speaking here not of errors, but of regional differences.** For example, I always hear people refer to the sound of a phone as 'ring ring,' but the phone card here has 'tring tring,' which I've never heard as a sound effect for anything. The siren card says 'nee naw,' and I've heard such sirens in movies, but in the States, our sirens sound different, and most children's books would probably write the sound as 'wee ooo, wee ooo.' There is also a card which refers to a mother saying goodnight, as I recall, but where we would most likely use the word 'mom,' the card has 'mum,' which is common in other parts of the world. One other tiny thing I noticed stems from what I said earlier about the company trying to use a variety of verbs. In their zeal not to repeat themselves, I thought some of the phrases seemed strained and/or unlikely. For instance, we wouldn't normally speak of a chicken as cackling or a cat as singing. The mis-sized box actually bothers me for functional reasons, but these minor details may not be a problem at all. I only mention them to be thorough, and you could easily substitute the words or sounds that you prefer if necessary, and the cards would still serve their purpose. On the whole, I'm quite pleased with the product, and believe it could be helpful in homes with young children. Given the large, legible format of the cards, and their sturdy character, a daycare or preschool program could easily incorporate these cards into circle time or as a fun, end of the day activity between packing up and dismissal.
