Usborne Touchy-Feely Flashcards

Product Description

Usborne Touchy Feely Flashcards engage children to a host of visual and tactile experiences (e.g. fuzzy, smooth, rough). Babies and little children will love these tactile first word cards. Each of the 12 cards has a different texture to help develop sensory awareness and picture-word recognition.

The Usborne Touchy Feely Flashcards are hard and durable and brightly illustrated.

Why Touch & Feel, Tactile Toys are Good for Kids

For young children, to touch something that is bumpy and associate the word "bumpy" introduces the meaning of bumpy. Simply saying the word without the experience will not establish the connection. Touching is the glue that brings the word and the concept together as a meaningful experience.

Also, tactile experiences help young children develop and organize a repertoire of senses they would not otherwise understand. For example, rough has subtleties - some are more rough than others, though rough nevertheless. Only through direct touch and differentiation will your child understand the range of roughness and understand that rough is different from bumpy.

About Usborne Books

In the 1970's, it was clear that children were being entertained, not educated, by television and comic books. Peter Usborne recognized that books would have to change in order to compete for children's attention. By incorporating concepts used by comics and TV, as well as consulting with educators, Usborne books were born. Usborne books are designed to draw children in through colorful illustrations and photos, and often use humor to deliver information in short, concise paragraphs aimed to hold their interest. Research shows that when a child's interest is held, they will continue to pursue and retain knowledge.
