Carson Dellosa - Time and Money Flash Cards - 54 Cards for Telling Time on Digital and Analog Clocks, Counting Money, Reading Numbers, Ages 5 and up (Brighter Child Flash Cards) by Brighter Child is I can see why people have such different opinions on these cards. I think both the time and the coin cards could be a supplementary introduction to both. I would not suggest using these cards solely to teach either.First off in order to introduce a clock digital or analog you need to start with hour, half hour etc. But these cards have a random display of times with no order. Each time card has analog time on one side and the same digital time on the other side. But again no pattern totally random. Would you teach your child how to tell time by just pointing at the clock and saying it is 9:11 then later on it is 5:45 they will eventually catch on but its going to take what will seem like forever. But you can reiterate once your child has an idea of how to tell time by using these cards.Secondly there are also money flash cards. This deck includes a card for each penny, nickel, dime, quarter, half dollar, and dollar. One side of each card has a photo of front and back of coin (and dollar) then the other side states how much each coin(dollar bill) are worth. Then also included were more cards with different examples of coins and the totals listed on the back.So in conclusion to this review do not buy for sole teaching of time or money to a child but instead for a quick review or to refresh their memory.

Carson Dellosa - Time and Money Flash Cards - 54 Cards for Telling Time on Digital and Analog Clocks, Counting Money, Reading Numbers, Ages 5 and up (Brighter Child Flash Cards) by Brighter Child is Time and Money flashcards have been a very helpful tool while teaching my 5 young kids how to be quick to figure out what time it is, or how much money is before them. We matched real coins with the cards and then each one of my kids had to figure out how much money they had displayed, and what kind of coins and who much each coin was worth, etc. They also got to earn the coins that they identified and counted correctly; it was a really great way to for the kids to earn a little extra cash and it was a great way for them to have some hands-on learning time (one-on-one time with Momma).

The flashcards are colored to bring a little life to them so they are not boring. There are 54 flashcards that teach about money and time. You have the most common coins, including the 50 cent piece, but not the dollar coin. The thing I was most disappointed in was that in the bills they ONLY have $1, I was expecting to have all the denominations of bills. Why you would only need to teach your kids about coins is beyond me. The time flashcards are wonderful, they do a great job of teaching the fullness telling time.

There aren't many cards of each type so you have to just wing it. Good starter kit!
