Each of these flashcards can be customized with personal photos and text to teach children about the world around them. Kids love them because they’re fun and parents love them because they’re educational. These cards are made in the USA and known for their high quality. They are laminated, easy to wipe and big for little hands to hold. “[Personal photos] hold meaning and have an emotional connection to a child which creates a stronger bridge between objects and language, which is crucial for communication,” Founder Jennifer Marchetti of Goosie told TDmonthly. Launch date: May 12, 2007.
