Personalize your child’s learning at home with a little help from Goosie.

“Goosie was founded by a mother who has a passion for children. She created GoosieTM flash cards out of her desire to teach her child about their family through family photos. Her company and brand is built on her philosophy and values as a parent. She believes in parents and their ability to inspire learning in their children through sharing experiences together.”

I am not a fan of the name or of the website but the concept is ingenious. I know so many families who are away from their extended family and work hard at building and maintaining relationship through photos, phone calls and phrases like ” Aunt Jeanne sent you that book, you remember Aunt Jeanne”.

Visual representations are essential tools for learning but a set of store bought flash cards is often limited to the alphabet, colors and shapes. These cards allow you to personalize your child’s learning and make it fun. I can just imagine the excitement a toddler would have learning the words for things he/she sees in their home everyday or the look on his/her face when Aunt Jeanne walks through the door.
