Alphabotz Flash Cards (great for education): Review and Giveaway!

Being a home educator, I am always trying to find great products to encourage learning, is fun and creative for teaching/learning, and my kids will enjoy it. I was sent a box of Alphabotz flashcards to review, and I found these cards colorful, creative, fun, FULL of learning opportunities, and ways to teach (that is fun, not boring).
The Alphabotz flashcards have a robot character on the top of each card. On top of the robot's head is a picture of an item. The picture of the robot is to install a memory trigger for your children to help them remember a certain sound or letter. With 26 letters of the alphabet, there are 46 cards to the Alphabotz cards. Not only do the Alphabotz flash cards introduce the alphabet, there are also different phonetic sounds displayed.

These flash cards are perfect for me, considering Caleb is currently a "pre-schooler," and Madelyn isn't too far behind. They are learning together, essentially, with being home. They love playing with the cards and saying what is on them. Caleb is really liking to sound out his letters, know what letter makes which words, and so on. So the Alphabot Flash cards are a hit, and they are working to help him learn. He will eventually put together that the letters/sounds will belong to the words he is speaking...therefore promoting reading. That is the intent of these cards.
Caleb is learning how to spell and write his name, and we have been "finding the letters" of his name in the Alphabotz cards.
The Alphabotz Superphonic Decoder Cards were just named to Dr. Toy's 100 Best Children's Products of 2009 list! I think that this award is well deserved. I recommend these flashcards for your younger child/preschooler. Older kids can have fun with these cards, too...(included in the box is a list of games to play).
