We have many clients who invent games and  flashcards  that are customized to teach children anything from the state capitals to mathematics. We have printed and helped to create artwork for a tremendous variety of  card games for spelling and reading. The games are targeted to children as younzg as two and some are targeted to older children, many continuing through adult.  We also produce a number of competitive word games and custom playing card games based on language and comprehension skills

Another popular trend is to create educational custom paying cards and card sets for improving vocabulary and speech.  The educational playing cards are used primarly by  speech pathologists to teach children to properly create certain sounds like the often problematic “s”  or to correct other speech problems.

We work closely with each inventor to create  custom playing card games that suit their needs and to design packaging that reflects the purpose of the game it contains.

I have included some photos here of games that are meant for educational use yet still contain tremendous entertainment value.
