Toy Box: Flashcards for the Brainiac

Flashcards are my wee one's favorite "toy" and books come in at a close second.

Flashcards are my wee one's favorite "toy" and books come in at a close second. I have come to the realization that my lil girl is a nerd. An adorable, sweet, loving nerd. And we are relishing in it as long as it lasts because I am sure one day in the not too distant future, she will be demanding a tutu instead of cuddling up in my lap to review her ABCs.

Adding to her growing collection, the Nerd ABCs flashcards ($20) are hilarious, unique and clearly educational. "A" is for atom, not apple, in this deck of cards. If not for quizzing your babe every night, these scientifically adorned cards are fantastic for framing as art work or giving to other brainiac friends of yours.

Toy Box: Eric Carle Flash Cards

Already a fan of Eric Carle's beautiful and creative illustrations in children's books such as Brown Bear, Brown Bear and The Hungry Caterpillar, I'm excited to see his art now appearing on alphabet flash cards ($15).

Already a fan of Eric Carle's beautiful and creative illustrations in children's books such as Brown Bear, Brown Bear and The Hungry Caterpillar, I'm excited to see his art now appearing on alphabet flash cards ($15).

Each card has a letter of the alphabet on a colorful backdrop on one side and a splendidly illustrated animal to represent the letter on the other. And, the flash cards are made out of a heavy card stock, which makes for good tossing around the room without too much damage. Your lil Einstein will have the whole alphabet memorized in no time thanks to these beauties.
