Our little Sunday morning routine now ☀️ She climbs onto my lap with the reader and we go through the cards together. She's started pointing at things around the house and naming them which is just amazing to see at 22 months. Cards do end up absolutely everywhere but that's toddlers for you isn't it 😄 Can't recommend this enough to other mums! 💛
I can't even 😂😂 He holds the reader up to his ear like it's a phone and just listens to the words. Walks around the house with it chatting away to himself. His big sister thinks it's hilarious. Cards everywhere as usual but honestly who cares, he's learning and he's happy 💙 Worth every single penny.
My little man has set up his own "learning station" at his little table and honestly it's the cutest thing ever 🥹 He goes through every single card, one by one, dead serious about it. Astronaut is his absolute favourite. he shouts it at the top of his lungs every time 🚀 Brilliant quality and the purple reader looks lovely too!
Took this on our flight to Malaga last week ✈️ Absolute LIFESAVER. He was entertained the entire way and the couple next to us even asked what it was because he was so well behaved 😅 No screen, no tantrums, just happily going through his cards. Already dreading the day we forget to pack it! 🙌
She's only just turned two and she's already sorting the cards into her own little piles 😂 Towel, giraffe, fork she knows them all! Sat there for nearly 40 minutes on her own while I actually got to drink a hot cup of tea for once. Best purchase I've made this year, no exaggeration 💕
Got this for my nephew's third birthday and my sister says he's absolutely obsessed. She sent me a video of him going through the animal cards giggling his head off at the cow sound. Money well spent.
Really solid bit of kit. My son figured out how to use it within about two minutes which says a lot for a 2-year-old. Only thing I'd say is the volume could do with being a notch louder in a noisy room it's a bit hard to hear. Otherwise spot on.
Bought this on a whim and honestly it's the best twenty quid I've spent in ages. My little girl is 2 and a half and she sits with it for a good 30 minutes at a time. She's already saying "elephant" and "strawberry" completely unprompted. Proper chuffed.
My daughter brings me cards and says the words now. Before this she barely spoke. Amazing. Would be perfect if there were more categories to choose from.
Was sceptical about whether it was worth the money versus just using free apps but there's something about the physical cards that works so much better. My son actually focuses on it instead of just swiping and tapping randomly like he does on a tablet. The sound quality is surprisingly good too.
Bought this for my 3-year-old and she picked it up straight away. Really impressed with the quality. Wish there were a few more cards in the set but otherwise great.
My child is bilingual and I was worried the English pronunciation would confuse things but it's actually been really helpful. She hears the words clearly and repeats them. The card categories cover loads of everyday vocabulary which is exactly what toddlers need at this stage. Only reason it's not five stars is the delivery took a bit longer than expected.

Ordered this after seeing another mum's post about it. My 2-year-old was very slow to talk and we were getting worried. After about a month of using this daily she started repeating words and now points at things and names them. I know it's not all down to this but it's definitely helped. Wish there were a few more cards in the set but otherwise great.
Really chuffed with this purchase. My 4-year-old is now saying words like vehicle and penguin which I'm sure he's learned from the cards. The device itself is well made, compact enough for the changing bag, and the battery lasts really well. Would recommend to any parent.
Honestly wasn't sure whether my 3-year-old would engage with it or just ignore it after five minutes. But she's been using it every single day for the past three weeks. The audio quality is really clear and she's already started repeating words we hadn't taught her yet. Couldn't be happier.
My 18-month-year-old is picking up so many new words since we got this. Really chuffed. Only reason it's not five stars is the delivery took a bit longer than expected.
My partner and I limit screen time quite strictly and this has been a perfect fit for us. Our 2-year-old can use it completely on her own, the cards are tough enough to survive being chewed on, and she's genuinely picking up new words. Worth every penny we paid for it.
MyFirstWords™ is designed by education specialists to support the critical language acquisition window between ages 2 and 6. During this period, children's brains are uniquely primed to absorb new vocabulary — and this device makes every moment count.
224 words across 12 themes — animals, food, clothing, colours, vehicles, numbers, and more — giving your child a broad, balanced vocabulary foundation.
Audio pronunciation models clear, correct speech for each word, helping children develop proper articulation even during independent play.
Animal sounds and effects create multi-sensory associations that strengthen memory retention and make learning genuinely exciting.
Card-insertion mechanic develops fine motor skills and hand-eye coordination alongside language learning.
Research consistently shows that interactive, hands-on learning produces stronger results than passive screen time. MyFirstWords™ gives your child the engagement of a tablet with none of the drawbacks.
MyFirstWords™ is designed for children aged 2 to 6. Toddlers aged 2-3 focus on listening and repeating, while children aged 4-6 use the cards for early reading practice. Some parents introduce it from 18 months with supervision.
The 112 flash cards are printed on thick, laminated cardstock with rounded corners to resist bending, moisture, and wear. The card reader is made from durable, child-safe ABS plastic with no sharp edges or detachable small parts.
The reader unit is compact and lightweight at under 200g, designed to fit comfortably in small hands. The cards are sized for easy gripping by toddlers. The entire set stores neatly in a small box or toy bin.
Wipe the reader unit with a slightly damp cloth. The laminated cards can be wiped clean with a dry or lightly damp cloth. Avoid submerging any components in water. The lamination means sticky fingers and minor spills won't cause damage.
The device provides clear audio pronunciation of 224 words across 12 categories, giving children consistent, correct speech models to imitate. The interactive card-insertion mechanic creates an active learning loop — insert, listen, repeat — which research shows is far more effective than passive learning. Animal sounds and effects add multi-sensory reinforcement.
Absolutely. The reader is built from tough ABS plastic and has been designed to withstand drops, throws, and the general enthusiasm of toddlers. The laminated cards resist bending and tearing. Many parents report the set surviving months of daily use in perfect working condition.
Unlike tablets, MyFirstWords™ is completely screen-free, which paediatricians recommend for children under 5. The tactile card-insertion mechanic develops fine motor skills while the audio provides focused vocabulary building without the distraction, blue light, or addictive design patterns of apps.
It's one of the most popular gift choices among our customers. The attractive packaging makes it ready to give, and the 2-to-6 age range means children grow with it for years. Parents consistently tell us it's the gift that gets used daily long after the novelty of other toys has worn off.
