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

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.

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.

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.

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.

WOW instant hit with my 15 month old. Immediately purchased 2 other versions. The cards are nice and sturdy, the colors are bright, and each card has a spot with a different texture or material for your toddler to feel (for example the jelly has a spot that's sticky, the corn has grooves and ridges). I love that on the back of each card they have ideas for the adult on how to help your child learn with the cards from suggestions of questions to ask when they are first starting out, working all the way to expanding on spelling related games as they get older, and even going as far as to include translations in Spanish, French, German, and Mandarin if you really want to be that over achiever. I love this because not only does this keep the cards relevant and engaging for your child as they get older, but it gives people with maybe less experience playing with younger children great ideas on how to use these cards. The cards fit nicely in their cardboard enclosure that is secured shut with Velcro, so they are easy to put away or take with you on trips. My only complaint would be that since this is the "First Words" version, I wish one or two of the items which are maybe not as common were replaced with items that would be more in line with actual toddlers first words...and really this is more nit picking than a complaint.

I purchased all four sets of the DK "My First Touch & Feel Picture Cards" for my 17 month old and this one is my favorite! It has large pictures with a lot of touch and feel on MOST cards. My son's favorite card in this set is a piece of toast with sticky jelly. His face is priceless when he touches it! I would give it 5 stars if every card had something you could "feel" and if the pictures were more current/real. For instance, instead of a real key, they have a toy key. If you're trying to decide which set to get, get this one for sure. I wouldn't recommend the "Numbers and Counting" set unless you have an older child. It does not have as many cards you can "feel" as the other sets and it's geared more towards counting than identifying numbers. The "Things that Go" set also does not have many cards you can "feel" something on but my son LOVES things that go, so we still have fun with that set. I really love these cards because they can grow with your kids. Right now, my son loves to look and feel the pictures on the cards and identify what is on each card. As he grows, we can incorporate the questions/activities on the back of each card and learn the Spanish and French translations. They really are an all-in-one learning activity you can do with your kids.

Amazing Flashcards! They've really come a long way since I was a kid. Totally worth the money and I cant wait to buy the other sets. They come in a nice box with a velcro flip top. The quality of the cards are really nice thick cardboard that I see lasting a long time. The touch and feel theme just gives it another added bonus of fun for kids and more to talk about to describe and learn details of what you are teaching them. Back of the cards give you more ideas of questions to ask and different languages. Also would be easy to travel with. I love how that are real pictures and not cartoon. I dont know what more you could want. These exceed my expectations! Be mindful of the jelly card. Its sticky so I could see hairs, lint etc sticking to it.

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.

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
