Product Description
This beautiful set of ASL flash cards was designed with both you (the parents), and your baby in mind. On the front of each card, clear, brightly colored photographs hold your baby’s attention and motivate him or her to sign. On the back of each card, easy-to-understand photos and descriptions show you how the sign is done. What’s most important is to have fun! The more joyful your attitude during any activity, the more your baby will find delight in it and want to do it!

 Great ASL flash cards! July 16, 2007

I love these flash cards. We started signing with my daughter when she was 5 months old; she did her first signs back at 10 months; now she's 18 months and still going strong with signing. We do not allow her to watch TV so we're reliant on what we can teach her, board books (which are mostly poorly designed when it comes to babies or very young toddlers), and now, these cards.
I LOVE these cards! The cards and big and fairly sturdy, and the words presented are a very good selection for babies. Here's how they are designed:
-- One one side, each card has a clear, colorful picture of the object being signed about, often with a baby (for example, "Light" shows a young toddler turning on a lamp).
-- On the back side, there is a picture of a woman performing the sign, and if needed, a brief text description of how to do the sign.
-- All cards show the ASL sign. A couple also show popular alternates for signs that are particularly difficult for babies, such as "help".
-- The word for each sign is printed in large, clear block letters on both sides of the card.
I have looked at tons and tons of board books and not been completely happy with any of them. but I love, love, LOVE these cards. They are wonderfully designed to be clear and attractive to very young signers, and are study enough that babies and toddlers can play with them without causing too much damage. My daughter has knelt or crawled on some of them more than once and they haven't really even been dented yet.
These cards definitely deserve two thumbs up.
Nice Sturdy cards! July 4, 2007

I purchased these cards over a different brand after reading all of the reviews about having to laminate the other cards. I think that these cards are plenty sturdy enough. My infant has put them in her mouth quite a bit and it is easy just to wipe them clean when she is done. They are very nice large cards with great pictures that my daughter gets very excited about and the explanation of how to do the sign is very easy to understand.

I was given the whole kit, but want to be sure to mention these cards are GREAT. My daughter has enjoyed them from 3 mo and continues to use them at 16 mo! She's not big on signing, but these cards are fabulous for having fun saying first words. Worthwhile! ...And a lot less expensive than other similar card sets.
The basics with real pictures and simple directions September 1, 2009

I wanted simple sign language cards to teach my baby to communicate some basic things to me (such as she is tired, hungry, wants more, wants a drink, needs help). That's it. These accomplish that, plus many more. Also, I have noticed from reading her books that my baby prefers actual pictures, rather than cartoon drawings, so I wanted to find sign language flash cards with real pictures. These are all actual pictures, no drawings.
The directions on the cards for signing are very simple. My husband and I went through them together a few times and we have almost every sign down. Here are the signs we use the most: eat, drink, milk, water, more, bath, sleep, sun, moon, rain, swing, girl, and boy. While I am at it, here are some others: airplane, car, train, swing, rain, snow, stars, cracker, cookie, bird, flower, hat, cow, bunny, pig, cat, dog, and help. These cards can handle a splash of water, but aren't something you would want to hand to your baby, as he/she would probably ruin them. Finally, I appreciate that on the "milk" card, there is a picture of a bottle of milk AND a baby nursing. I nurse my baby so "milk" to her means "to nurse." And yes, the picture is completely tasteful.

These cards are durable, easy to understand, and a good value for the cost. They have been fun for us parents to learn, our son is too young yet, but we wanted to get comfortable with them first.
