These highly intuitive cards allow pupils to either insert a drawing or photo in a plastic pouch on the front of the card (Mini and A5 sized cards) or use a dry wipe pen to write and draw directly on to the surface of the card (A4 cards). The cards feature a built-in digital sound recording chip, that enables the pupil or teacher to record a brief voice file to describe the drawing on the card, so providing a valuable tool for reinforcing letter, word and shape to sound recognition and number bonding activities. The larger A4 cards are also ideal for creating video or animation storyboards.
