Orchard Toys’ See and Sound is a standout early years product that perfectly embodies the values celebrated by the Absolutely Mama Awards. Expertly designed with insight into how young children learn and grow, this engaging set combines sensory play with early language development in a format that’s both intuitive and joyfully hands-on.
Created for babies and toddlers aged 9 months and up, See and Sound introduces little ones to the sights and sounds of familiar farm animals through 24 large, wipe-clean flashcards. Bold, friendly illustrations of animals such as ducks, pigs, sheep, and mice help nurture sound recognition and expand early vocabulary, while the generously sized cards are perfect for small hands to hold and explore.
What sets this product apart is its ability to grow with the child. In the early stages, the cards invite simple sensory and language-rich interaction. As children develop, See and Sound evolves into a matching and memory pairs game—introducing key cognitive and social skills like turn-taking, observation, and problem-solving.
Parents and caregivers are fully supported too, with an 8-page activity guide offering step-by-step ideas to extend learning and make every play session purposeful and rewarding. Designed to encourage communication and connection between adult and child, these activities help build the foundations of literacy, listening and confidence.
Trusted by families and educators for generations, Orchard Toys has a reputation for creating products that stand the test of time—both physically and educationally. See and Sound continues that legacy, offering exceptional quality, versatility, and developmental value from the earliest stages of childhood.
With its sensory appeal, thoughtful design, and educational depth, See and Sound is a truly award-worthy product for the “Best for Early Years” category—one that turns everyday moments into meaningful milestones.
