2.0 out of 5 stars Random sampling of nature pictures/vocabulary, October 25, 2004

According to the Parent's Guide, these cards can be grouped into earth, water and sky. It is marketed for ages 9 months and up, and it seems some of the concepts would be difficult for a child that young to grasp, e.g. wetlands, wave, and comet. Also, I am not sure how you could explain to a very small child the difference between the "water" card and the "ocean" card (and possibly the "sand" card and "beach" card which is an aerial view).

The card for "sun" does not look like the sun a child would be familiar with in the sky and may be confused with the "sunset" card. Also, you will have to make the distinction between "sky" and "clouds," as well as "earth" and "planet."

The remaining cards are rocks, rainbow, moon, stars, sea jellies, fish, soil, flower, mountain, coral, sea star, crab, shell, grass, tree, and leaf.

4.0 out of 5 stars Fun tool, beautiful pictures, but. . . ., April 5, 2004

This review is from: Baby Einstein: Nature Discovery Cards: Nature Photographs and Animal Facts to Delight Your Baby (Baby Einstein (Special Formats)) (Cards)

Our twenty month old loves the Baby Einstein flashcards (the animals set in particular). The pictures are clear and crisp and beautifully rendered. I agree with everything the previous reviewer said, but one thing was missing that bothers me about the cards. They are printed on a fairly thin cardboard material. While the enclosed brochure says the cards are sturdy enough for young hands to handle, they are also thin enough for young hands to bend and mash! After two days, about half a dozen cards are bent in half and feature large creases. Certainly the cards are still functional and have not been severely damaged. But I wish they were made of more sturdy/durable materials, more like the board books themselves, that could not be so easily bent. I imagine there will be ripped cards at some point. We'll try to discourage him from bending them in the future (HA!), and in the meantime probably buy a second set for when the first one wears out . . .

5.0 out of 5 stars Great!, December 2, 2005

I wondered about explaining the subtle differences too but these cards are great. Just review them with your child and the differences can be made clearer as they grow older. In the meantime the kids really enjoy them and are armed with knowledge when you take outdoor trips. I am really happy with this purchase.
