Flashcards

Mention the words "flash cards" and it's hard not to think of a type-A Tiger Mom drilling spelling words into her kid's head. But forget all that -- flash cards can be a fun way for your little learner to become familiar with the alphabet. We're charmed by this jumbo-sized set from Chronicle Books: A Raft of Otters: Collective Nouns Flash Cards From A to Z. Each card boasts a big, colorful letter on one side and the name of a group of animals (ex: a bale of turtles) on the flip side. That's two learning tools in one! ($20 at Chronicle Books)
