Each card has a hand-painted illustration or real image, isolated on a white background, on one side and kid-friendly encyclopaedic facts on the other side. These cards have multiple uses - they serve as a learning tool for children for early brain development and knowledge enhancement. The large images on the cards help in visual and auditory stimulation.

 

  1. What’s the suitable age group for Quantum Cards?

Quantum Cards are designed for children from 6 months to 8 years. For maximum effect, they should be used as early as possible, i.e. at the age of 6 months. They have been designed specifically to stimulate the unformed visual pathways in babies. The visual and the auditory pathway (What they see and what they hear) are two of the most powerful pathways to stimulate the brain.

 

  1. What’s the difference between Flashcards and Quantum Cards?

Quantum Cards are a twist to the classic flashcards. They are large because it is easier for little children to see the big bright images on a white background. The other side of Quantum Cards is equipped with information about the image to make it an interactive learning aid for children.

  1. How are Quantum Cards useful to children?

Quantum Cards are designed to fulfil two important purposes (i) early sensory development, i.e., Visual and Auditory; and (ii) introduce concepts to children in the easiest way possible. The brain grows most rapidly during the first six years of life. During this time, sensory experiences play a critical role in this process. By using Quantum Cards, your child gets the required visual and auditory stimulus that accelerates their brain development. 

 

  1. How do I use Quantum Cards?

- Following are step-by-step instructions on using Quantum Cards:

*Take one full set of 10 Quantum Cards.

*Sit at an arm’s length (approx. two feet) from your child so that you and your child are facing each other.

*Place the cards in front of you. Start by enthusiastically introducing the topic, for example, “I have some Musical Instruments to show you!”

*Then, one by one, quickly move the back card to the front and announce its name, for example, “piano,” “cello,” “bass drum,” etc. Moving the back card to the front instead of the other way around allows you to look at the name before you present it to your child.

*Flash through the whole set of ten cards as enthusiastically and quickly as possible. The whole process should take about 15-20 seconds. (Note: If your child is able to speak, allow them to repeat the name after you present it to them. This allows you to check their pronunciation and also helps them remember better).

*Children love learning quickly and without anxiety, so try to make your sessions very fast, fun, organized, and enthusiastic.

 

  1. How often should I use Quantum Cards with my baby?

Each set should be used three times daily. Make sure you shuffle the cards every time you use them.

 

  1. When is the right time to use Quantum Cards with my child?

For maximum effect, Quantum Cards should be used when both the child and the parent are in a happy and excited mood. So, catch your child when they are feeling energized and enthusiastic.

 

  1. When should I progress from one set to the next?

You can introduce a new set to your little one every 2 weeks. Please include the old ones as the child’s visual pathways memorize familiar stimuli quicker.

 

  1. When should I use the encyclopaedic facts?

Once your child has been properly introduced and is able to remember the names, you can start by reading out the encyclopaedic facts from the back.

 

  1. Who should be using Quantum Cards with the child?

Quantum Cards are age-agnostic. Our wide and differentiated variety of topics, backed by authentic encyclopaedic content and our great visuals, make them appealing to children of all age groups, not to forget most adults too!

 

  1. Why are the cards so large?

Quantum Card size of 26 cm by 22 cm is significant for two reasons; (i) a large image of the object helps a child retain and recognize the object efficiently; and (ii) a large card ensures a child’s focus stays on the object and eliminates surrounding distractions.

 

  1. Where are these images sourced from?

Most of our images are hand-painted by our expert artists. In some cases, wherever necessary, we license these images from the original source.

 

  1. Why are the images isolated on a white background?
