If you have a strong reader, and he/she is willing to say the Spanish words aloud as they put these little mini-puzzles together, this is a great tool! I use these in my Spanish classes as something to do for the students that finish activities first, and they do enjoy them.

However, if your child is not a strong reader, this may act more like a simple puzzle, and not reinforce any language learning at all.... of course, the words are there, and they'll soak in at least a little bit...

I have used these for three years for many weekly classes, and they are still in great shape. The students are able to do them quite quickly, and if I require the repeating of the Spanish word, they do retain some vocabulary, usually. I do wish there was no English on them - Just Spanish and a picture. But all in all, well worth the money for the classroom or home use. At home, the puzzles go very well with Flip Flop Spanish Level 2, in the week the children are learning weather and months and seasons.

The main problem with these puzzle cards is that they are double-sided. (Example: viernes on one side/lunes on the other.) Dumb idea! I find them therefore to be not very useful as a learning tool. Plus this is not indicated anywhere on the package or product description.
