BILINGUAL FLASH CARDS BY BLINGUALS (ENGLISH / SPANISH) REVIEW & GIVEAWAY (perfect for homeschooling!)

BLINGuals are illustrated bilingual flash cards to teach toddlers and young children new words in multiple languages. Each pack includes 54 or 60 cards (depending on type), with an illustration of a common word. Each side of the card spells out the word in a different language. Choose any combination of fifteen available languages.

Features:

■For babies and toddlers, it’s a safe and entertaining toy that is quite difficult to destroy (we know they’ll try!) The Spanish-English cards are made of highly durable plastic. All other language combinations are made of thick paper stock.

■For talking toddlers, the flash cards provide illustrations of objects from every day life. They’ll start by pointing out the correct card as you call out the words, and advance to repeating the words themselves.

■For pre-schoolers, the cards provide a way to hone multilingual and spelling skills.

■For parents, it’s a valuable and fun teaching tool. The cards are compact, easy to take along and once packed away in the tuck box (included), they don’t clutter up the room.

Games options include:

■Vocabulary for non-talking toddlers: lay out the cards and call out words – ask your child to point out the appropriate cards.

■Vocabulary for talking toddlers: ask your child to call out the word you show him/her.

■Categories and groupings: ask your toddler to group cards into categories: animals, clothing, food, vehicles, body parts, etc.

■Colors #1: stack the cards so that the blue or yellow background consistently faces up.

■Colors #2: group cards by color, e.g. the frog and the car go into the green pile.

■Language: For children who mastered one language already, quiz your child on pronouncing and spelling the word on the other side of the flash cards.

My Review:

As a homeschool educator I find BLINGuals Flash Cards perfect with our Spanish curriculum! Why? For several reasons: I can use the cards to teach my children English and Spanish words at the same time! The cards are nice and durable with an laminate covering so they are somewhat “child-proof”. I also like the size of the flash cards – they are the size of playing cards which makes it convient for on the go! There are so many great everyday beginner words in this pack such as: colors, spoon, fork, shoes, etc. I recommend all homeschooler, educators and parents who are teaching children to purchase these flash cards! Not only do they come in English / Spanish but they come in 15 other languages!
