Not impressed myself or child.

I started by playing with my 10 year old to figure out the various games. It went well and she let me know that she enjoyed the shape review. Some of the shapes were more advanced--trapezoid, hemisphere, cone, etc.We then moved on to including my 8, 6, and 4 year old in a game of go fish with just the colors. It went really well. I held the cards for my 4 year old (we were on a team), but he did great with the colors. This will be a good starting point in introducing some of the shapes.

Here is a deck of 40 cards, each marked with a color and a shape. There are four of each color, including red, yellow, blue, green, orange, purple, pink, brown, black, and white. The set also contains two of each shape, including circle, quarter circle, semicircle, oval, sphere, hemisphere, cylinder, and cone in the circle family. The square family includes square, rectangle, cube, and rectangular prism. For triangular shapes you get triangle, triangular prism, and pyramid. Other shapes include the rhombus, trapezoid, pentagon, hexagon, and octagon. Five special 'Slap It' cards round out the deck, allowing you to use these cards to practice with colors or shapes by playing Slap Jack. In addition to the rules for that game, instructions for Go Fish and Memory are also included, as well as suggestions for how to use the set as flashcards, especially for children who may not be familiar with some or all of the terms or geometrical concepts.Speaking as someone with average vision, the colors are all clear and easily distinguished, one from another. The shapes are large, and the drawings of the three-dimensional ones feature broken lines to indicate the edges facing away from the viewer, as it were. Inother words, you can 'see through' the shapes, similar to the way they might be represented in a textbook, rather than in real-life objects. Take the cube, for example. You can see that it has six faces and you can see all its edges and corners, which you could not observe if it were a picture of a building block or a die.Every card is labeled with the name of the color written out in an upper corner, and the name of each shape written immediately below it. This is a nice touch for teaching new words, and reinforcing their spelling. In the upper left corner, the cards (except the Slap It ones, naturally) are marked with a small, miniature copy of the image for that card, in the same way that the king of hearts in a standard deck is marked with a K♥️ in the corners, and for the same reason. This makes playing Go Fish, for instance, easier to play, because you can hold the cards fanned normally in your hand, and see at a glance what you have. This feature wouldn't be necessary for Memory or for flashcards, so I appreciate the thoughtfulness of that detail.The dimensions of the deck and the design and quality of the tuck box seem comparable to standard playing cards, and the quality of the cards themselves is fine. They don't have the linen texture of Bicycle cards, and I don't think they are quite as snappy, but I would classify these as similar to most children's cards, or to the decks you see in gas stations and grocery stores. I wouldn't describe them as fantastic, but they are certainly adequate. If your children are rough, you may need to replace these after a time, but that's not uncommon with cards, any way.At $4.99 (full price), this reasonably-priced deck packs a lot of early childhood math information into a very small footprint, and there are at least four ways to play and interact with the materials, right out of the box, not including other games you could borrow from (like Old Maid) or make up on your own. If you have young children or grandchildren, this could be a fun and engaging way for them to learn. The cards even grow with them, beginning with the simplest level (colors), before progressing into two- and finally three-dimensional shapes.

This is a fun and easy game. It mage learning shapes and colors a little more exciting for my daughter

I like that these can be used as a deck of cards to play things like go fish as well as a learning tool to teach shapes and colors. It is nice to have them all fit together in their box. Good little set of cards.

I got these to use for teaching props for my English as a Second Language classes I teach online. They are awesome because they also have the 3D shapes which are taught in the upper levels and I've never seen flashcards for them before! I see this is also meant to be played as a game, so there are more than one of each shape. I won't have any use for the duplicate shapes but it's nice that the cards are multifunctional for those who can use them!

Great cards for young kids to learn how to play games. You can play Go Fish or a matching game. They can also be used as flash cards too.
