learn about science in a flash with eeBoo :: #BackToSchool review

  My oldest love facts, especially science facts. He might not always completely understand said fact, but he knows the basics about tons of things. In a few years, he’s going to be one of those people you hate to play against in Trivial Pursuit!

I assumed that even though he’s almost 10, he’d enjoy these Science Flash Cards from eeBoo more than the others. But I was pleasantly surprised when all four of my children plopped down on the floor together to look at these. The favorite card is the one you see here, the Dung Beetle. My mom told them last week that she’d seen one in her yard so they were excited to learn more about them (and have a reason to say dung). Did you know that ancient Egyptian scarabs are a variety of dung beetles? See, even I learned something.

There are several things that I really love about these flash cards more than any other flash cards I’ve ever used:

• They are printed on very sturdy, glossy paper so they don’t bend easily and you can write on them with dry erase markers.
• The artwork is fabulous. I’ve talked before about how much I love the quality of eeBoo artwork and their products in general!
• They cover a wide variety of topics including Flowers and Bugs, Mammals and Marsupials, Under the Water, Birds and Leaves, Weather and Celestial, Fossils and Minerals
• They give just enough information to get you interested.

After they played with these cards together, I let each child pick their favorite card and then we researched more about that subject. I got them started and we worked together to find out more about kangaroos, axolotls (I had no idea what these were but they are seriously cool creatures!), cuckoo birds, and Therapods.

Don’t think your little one is quite ready for flash cards? eeBoo also has these super adorable Life on Earth Lacing Cards which encourage fine motor skills and introduce them to a few kid-favorite animals. They also have a matching game and a travel version of the matching game!
