Bought this for my TK classroom. The kids absolutely love them. Easy to throw in a little basket and give them independent time to match. Pretty good quality and the cards are nice and thick.

Got these for my 3 year old since I’m planning on homeschooling and wanted to start doing more “sit down” activities. He absolutely loves doing these! It’s great quality. The cards are sturdy. The insects look great. It opens up the door to talk / teach more about each insect and we enjoy them.
