Sensory Play Cards: 0–12 Months

Most activity cards tell you what to do. These do that — and two more things no other product combines.
Each of the 60 cards has a richly illustrated scene on the front and evidence-based guidance on the back: sensory play instructions, vocabulary-building picture prompts, and the science behind every activity.
Three smart tools in one deck — a sensory play guide, a picture-talk library, and an early vocabulary builder — designed to grow with your baby from birth through the first birthday.

Why It's Different

  • Three tools no other product combines: sensory play guide + illustrated picture-talk cards + SLP-based vocabulary builder in one deck
  • Every activity, every illustration, every word — backed by 20+ peer-reviewed studies and guidelines from AAP, ASHA, CDC, and Harvard
  • 150+ early vocabulary words woven into illustrations and "Talk About It" prompts — drawn from speech-language research on first words
  • Covers the full first year: four age blocks from 0–3 through 9–12 months, progressing with your baby's development
  • Cards work two ways: as activity instructions for you (from birth) and as picture cards for your baby (from ~6 months)

How to Use

  1. Print the cards at home on cardstock or matte photo paper — or at Staples, FedEx Office, or any print shop.
  2. Start with the age block that matches your baby right now. Pull a card. Read the back. Try the activity.
  3. Starting around 6 months: flip the card to the illustration side. Show it to your baby. Point at objects. Name them. Use the "Talk About It" prompts.
  4. One card a day is plenty. Revisit favorites — repetition is how the brain strengthens connections.
