Cheap U-Play Mat, At-Home Speech and Language Development System for Toddlers & Preschoolers: Starter Set Review
I purchased this product because my daughter only speaks 5 words plainly and clearly. The rest of her vocabulary consist of baby gibberish. Her pediatrician refused to write a referral for speech therapy because he said that she was just fine and on track for development, but I disagreed. I didn't want to get sucked into the Your Baby Can Read program because I really don't want her watching DVD's. Therefore, I'm being more proactive and doing speech therapy myself. The shape of the mat is great. My child will interact with me and look at the cards and point to the correct ones. Its great b/c the cards stay put and no more running off taking the cards everywhere in the house. She has other flash cards that we were using and she ran off while we were going over the foods cards. She brought back her ABC cards and put them in the extra pockets and pointed at the apple card she had and the one that was already there. I was like EUREKA! We just a AHA moment. I praised her and she clapped her hands and gave me a big hug. She tried to pronounce the words and that was a huge improvement. I will not be purchasing the other card decks because the .00 cards that I purchased before hand fit nicely into the pockets and the Baby Einstein cards do also.Alphabet Flash Cards I can even get the parts of the body deck of cards from the school supply store I will write another review at 24 months and tell you how successful this program has been.
