Here is yet another wonderful early education, take-along product from TREND. These cards have beautiful, eye catching cartoon pictures that allow children to build simple words and sentences. Each picture is part of a trio puzzle that, when matched up, makes a complete picture. Each card also has a word or two on them and when the trio is put together it makes a complete sentence. Flip the card over, and you will see a different picture but instead of a word or two you get only a letter. When that trio is put together the three letters form a basic word such as cub. Parents liked that the pictures on each card are set up like a puzzle so that even if their child didnt have the skills to build it using just the letters they could use the pictures. This encouraged children to sound out letters to figure out the word. The cards are made of a durable stock and feature vibrant colors; they are ideal for travel and a terrific value.
