These are fun! Cute cartoons, and interesting words for the age group of 5 to maybe 11 or 12. I wish the article was with each word (el conejo, la flor) and I think it's a little weird to have the English and Spanish on the same side as the picture, but for introduction, it's okay.

The biggest con that I took a star off for was that there's no phonetic spelling, so beginning Spanish students will not know if they are pronouncing the words correctly.

In class, we like these, and the kids are definitely drawn to them, and they have been holding up well in class (except for the box! Ha!) I'm just concerned for those learning without a Spanish speaker handy.

The card with the sock gives the Spanish as "calcetíne" which is WRONG. It's two "calcetines" but one "calcetín" -- and any 1st year Spanish student would know that.

Otherwise... The graphics are cute. The cards are a nice size for adult hands.

I bought a set of these of these as a gift and another set to use in bilingual craft projects. I will probably just throw away the "sock" card, but one could certainly try to cover the "e" with correction fluid.

I bought these cards as party favors for my daughter's Fiesta Birthday Party. She was 6, so learning different languages is a big interest right now. These cards are great--collection of words and pictures keep their attention and teach new skills!

These flashcards have the colorful picture side with the words and on the back are just the words in black and white for later use.
Well worth the money spent on them!

We are using these flash cards as a supplement to the "Your baby can read" series. The cards are durable, clear, and colorful. Our son loves them and they can hold his attention for 15+ minutes which is excellent for a 14 month old. We've purchased the numbers, colors & shapes, and first words. He enjoys reviewing all three sets with mommy or daddy, but his favorite is the first words. I think he enjoys the first words the most because he can more easily relate the pictures to his real world. As he gets older, I imagine he will be able to more easily relate abstract ideas like numbers and shapes. I highly recommend any set of cards by this company.

These cards are of decent quality, but they have both the Spanish and the English on both the front and the back of the card.
These are going back.

My 20mo has played with these cards since 1yo, really enjoying the pictures and variety of objects.
