Goosie Cards
Jennifer Marchetti, mompreneur, has created the first and only custom flash cards for children.
Goosie Cards are created online, using your personal photos, to help you unlock the mysteries of language for your child.
Goosie Cards are a wonderful way to introduce an adoptive child to their new family, friends, and home. Parents can create a set of personal flash cards for their child to teach them about each member of the family, and family friends.
If there is a language barrier, then personal photos can help you comfort and communicate! These would have been so helpful to me when I was teaching English to 130 6-year-olds in China!
Actually, even as an adult second language learner, I could definitely benefit from a customized set of Goosie Cards for my studies.
To make your own set of cards, simply create a free account at Goosiecards.com, upload your pictures, and add the text of your choice.
Goosie Cards received the 2008 Product of the Year Award from Creative Child Magazine!
You can make a special set of flash cards with pictures each member of the family to teach your child who’s who. This would be especially helpful with those relatives who only appear at holidays (maybe I should make a set to help Jojo remember his cousin’s names)!
Goosie Cards aren’t just for babies; they are also a great tool for older children to foster reading, language and communication skills.
You can create custom cards in sets of 10, 20 or 26. Prices range from $28 to $46.
If you don’t want to use your own photos, there is a Goosie® Gallery with over 150 free full color, professional photos to help you design your cards.
You can customize your set with any combination of personal and Goosie® Gallery photos to help reflect your child’s environment.
If you aren’t interested in a custom order, there are also pre-made sets with 11 categories to choose from, like ABC’s, Animal Kingdom, or Favorite Foods.
Goosie Cards are being used by parents, teachers and medical professionals to help children with autism to learn social, emotional, sequencing, memory and communication skills!
Just for you! Use special promotion code mommosttraveled at checkout for 20% off your entire order! This coupon code is valid until 2/14/09.
