Dorling Kindersley Touch & Feel Picture Cards — by Guest Mom Lindsey Rose Johnson

I wish I could take credit for finding our four packs of DK Touch & Feel Picture Cards. They came from Grandma and Grandpa and are quite possibly my favorite gift they've sent. I know you're going to want some of your own because my friends ask me all the time about them. Let's take a sneak peek inside the boxes:

One of my favorites is Numbers and Counting. (Especially the four butterflies card.)



The pictures on the cards are beautiful and each one has a touch and feel area.



There are cards that kids can compare.



On the back of each card are questions for the parent/care giver to use to help the child think about and learn from. I really love that each card has a "Can you say (blank) in these languages?" section.



The shapes are fun because easily recognized objects are used. When we use these flash card, I have my daughter look around the room to find other objects that are the same shape.



Another favorite is the Animals pack. There are four categories — Farm (green border), Zoo (orange), Pets (yellow), and Sea (blue).




Included in each pack is a note to parents and caregivers. I've appreciated reading this card and thinking of new ways to use the flash cards — matching, putting into categories, etc.
