I recently purchased this set to add to my daughter's collection of Baby Einstein Discovery Cards. The only word I can come up with to describe this set is....LAME. I am so disappointed in the items featured on these cards. They are boring and void of inspiration. My daughter has no interest in even looking at them. If you want to buy any Baby Einstein cards, I recommend the Nature Discovery Cards and the Animal Discovery Cards. The photography is outstanding.

After using the Language Development cards, I purchased these cards as well as a few other sets from Baby Einstein for my 23-month-old. I have been very pleased with the cards for the photos selected for each concept and the quality of the cards. My toddler can play with them and because of the 'laminated' coating, I don't have to worry about them getting destroyed. I would also like to add that I was skeptical of the cards at first, fearing that my child would only recognize, for example, a duck that looked just like the one on the card. This however has not been the case. My child recognizes more things, both verbally and non-verbally (pointing) than I had expected. I would recommend all of the Baby Einstein cards sets. The Language Discovery cards were a great starting point and these Seasons Discovery cards are just as awesome!

Some of the pictures are the same as the nature cards but these cards have a value all of their own. I think they are helpful to the pre-k crowd when trying to teach seasons, months, etc. I recommend these despite the other reviewer's thoughts.

Very pleased with the Baby Einstein flash cards. My kids (twins) enjoy them very much and get very excited going through the cards. They were about 20 months when we first started using them. My wife and I would tell the boys to find from their toy chest whatever was depicted on the card. Whoever found it would give it to us and we would give it back and tell him to share it with his brother. The brother would then give it to us. We'd tell them "good sharing." We've done this with every set of flash card we got. The kids are now 28 months and still excited with the cards.

I love these and all the Baby Einstein Discovery cards. They are durable and my daughter loves looking at the pictures especially at meal times. A valuable learning tool that is fun and interactive...much better then any video.

These cards are great except they say to hand the card to the child because they are durable. They are not durable. We have had the cards for only a week and he has bent a card already. I love them because they have prompts for the adult on the other side and also suggestions. Some of the images could be better options. However they seem a bit complex. I am overall happy with the cards.

BABY EINSTEIN: SEASONS DISCOVERY CARDS are a collection of nearly 30 flashcards that offer a wealth of information. Each card consists of a vibrant illustration with the word identifying the item in the photo prominently displayed in bold text. The back of each flashcard contains a wealth of invaluable information for parents. This includes a season icon which identifies which season the pictured image is most typically seen or used. Children can sort the cards by season, using these icons to see if they grouped the cards correctly. The back of the cards also include additional facts about the pictured objects. For example, the icicles card is marked with the winter icon and includes facts like "when the weather gets warm, icicles melt."

The included parents guide, though brief, offers creative ways the cards can be used with children of varying ages. It also provides suggestions for activities that will get children out of the house and into the yard discovering some of what nature has to offer. Eye-catching photos and lots of extras make these flash cards a wonderful learning tool.
