Ants, kangaroos, and tigers...

I recently learned that kids can memorize words really early - as young as 12 months - by associating them with a picture. It's a different way to teach our kids than the traditional "A" is for "apple" which works when they're a little older (like 5 or 6).

So I'm testing it out - and so far Addie loves these flashcards - and definitely recognizes the animals (although no words yet). We pull them out when she's eating in her chair and essentially distract her from throwing food to the dog. I highly recommend these - very unisex designs - and beautiful patterns and artwork we can all enjoy.

Have fun!
