These are always a good buy. For early development they are great. Books can be too busy for very young kids and babies. This a set of bright simple images for young eyes can focus on. They also have a range of textures to help baby develop their sense of touch. I like using these early on with my baby as well as the children I work with in early education. I used them along with books to enourage early literacy skills and encourage engagement with books. I've watched may 1.5 -3 year olds engage with them through my work. They enjoy them,it helps develop their language and helps them learn letters and numbers as well as object names. The cards are pretty tough. My set has been used and abused by dozens of kids. They occasionally get bent but keep going. No one has manage to rip them yet.I started using them at 4week old with my own child. She will look at the images and focus in on them. She really likes the number 5 card with bright orange flowers. She will look at it for around 30 second while we talk about the card and touch the textured part (with books she doesn't focus on anything because they are too busy). This helps her eye development. It will also encourage her to engage with books as she gets bigger. The cards also help her develop her sense of touch because of the range of textures they have to explore. .you will get a lot of use out of this set as well as others in the series from birth and well past three. I own many of of the sets in the series. If you aren't sure how to use them, they have helpful suggestions on the back and questions to ask your child. They also are a super gift for a babyshower or young child's birthday. I Have used card in these series for years and continues to find them useful and engaging for young kids.
