With the best type of baby flash cards and teaching method, you can teach your baby or toddler effectively.
Is your baby 0-3 months old or 4-6 months old?
This is the best age to teach your baby.
Before you get your baby flash cards for sale online or not, here are the type of "baby flash cards" you should introduce to your newborn baby/infant.
The 5 best types of baby flash cards recommended:
1) Infant Stimulation flash cards / Black and White Baby Flash cards
Baby flash cards 0 - 3 months old
Also known as sensory flashcards for babies. These flashcards are all in black, white and red.
At this age, your child is still developing their eyesight. The only colour that the babies eyes can see is the colour black, white and red.
Babies at this age like to look at pictures with highly contrasting colours and are already learning and discovering their surroundings. How do you use these sensory cards?
These flashcards are super simple to use. The idea is to get your baby started by looking at these cards. Looking at flashcards will stimulate your baby's brain development.
2) Phonics Reading
Baby flash cards for 6 months old and above
Flash cards stimulate your baby or toddler's visual and auditory senses. At this age, your goal is to introduce or expose to new sounds and to the words that represent the sound. These flashcards teach your baby or toddler reading and talking.
This is the perfect time to introduce phonics sounds for their homeschooling.
It's not about teaching. it is about exposure to new sounds and images.
Babies at their age absorb information like a sponge. The early introduction to flash cards, helps in your baby's brain development.
3) Math Dot Flash Cards
Flash cards for 4 months old and above
Every young child is able to subitize. Simply by looking at a group of red dots or objects the baby or toddler is able to identify the number of things. This is the time you start with math red dots for your child to learn math.
Professor Glenn Doman mentioned in his book "How To Teach Your Baby Math?" mentioned, the first part of learning math is quantity recognition. Doman believes your child's first exposure to mathematics should be quantities (dots on flash cards), not numerals (1,2,3).
These cards consist of images of dots on the flash card.
Just like the phonics flash cards. It is time to introduce "quantity" to your child, not "numbers" because numbers represent a symbol.
For example, the "7" symbol/numerals represent a quantity is 7 dots on the flash card.
Math dots flashcards cover topics like Quantity recognition and Equation (addition, subtraction, multiplication). The earlier you start your baby with math baby flash cards, the easier it is to teach.
4) Picture Word Flash Cards / Children Flash Cards
Flash cards for 6 months old and above
These flash cards are pictures of everyday objects ( for example, things surrounding your baby, pictures of fruits, animals, objects in the playground, the mall, vehicles, and many more.)
Infants at this age love to see pictures. Make sure the flash card have bright, happy and cheerful colours.
The baby or toddler flash cards must be realistic pictures and NOT CARTOONS.
This is the time you expose your child to images.
5) Alphabet Flash Cards / ABC Flash Cards
Flash cards for 12 months old and above
Picture flash cards should be introduced to your child first before you introduce A, B, C flash cards to your child.
Why?
Alphabets like ABC represents a symbol. An "A" does not mean a thing to your baby. You must attach meaning or an image to that A, B, or C symbol.
Conclusion:
If your baby is 0-3 months old, you introduce Infant Stimulation Flashcards.
Once your baby is 4-6 months old you can start with math dots, Phonics Reading cards, picture and word cards and lastly alphabets.
When teaching your child, you got to be flexible. Observe what stage of development or level your child is and then use the right material to teach.
