Flash cards ... one of our most versatile toys!
Flash cards are simple and essential toys that you can find in almost every home toybox. They’re often used to initiative verbal communication and direct a child’s focus and energy into the small task. Parents use flash cards to create surprise, or patterns with children between toddlers and perhaps up to 6 years of age. Even a baby can benefit from the flash cards just listening to the rhythm of their parent’s voice matched, with the colours and shapes shown on the cards. Flash cards provide you a portable toy that can be used for many different games and learning outcomes.
A good set of flash cards is typically durable and made from thick card, and our sets all come in quality boxes that help keep the cards together and protect them. Many sets are designed to be suitable for a specifically learning objective, like letters, emotions, counting, or animal sounds. Some sets are themed to appeal to a child (like mermaids or trucks) but all sets can be used to teach a variety of things at once like colour, numbers, shapes, or sounds.
Flash cars are perfect for use in the home, but we also find them popular with allied health professionals looking for ways to engage clients in both aged care and early childhood development.
What are the benefits of set of flash cards?
When you’re wanting to buy flash cards online in Australia, there are a few benefits that might help you choose:
Memory: Repetition and association are two excellent ways to help children retain information. Flash cards used repeatedly over a period of time become familiar, and the association of multiple elements (a word/a sound/an image) helps simple information become easily remembered.
Games: There are many simple games that can be played using a good set of flash cards. This includes the classic card-games of Memory or Snap, or Charades and Bingo, and even games base around story-telling and the need to create order from muddled cards.
Language Skills: Flash cards are great for introducing new words, concepts, and definitions. Children can use flash cards to expand their vocabulary and improve language skills, especially when used in interactive ways like "What's this?" or "Can you tell me more about it?"
Developing Focus: Flash cards typically contain very a short burst of information in the form of a single word, colour, image, or concept. Used over time, children can be helped to develop the ability to focus for longer periods of time as the activities increase in complexity and duration.
