How the words are chosen

One picture, doing the work alone.

Every word gets a single illustration, and it has to communicate the word with no caption and nothing outside the card to lean on. That is the test a new word passes before it ships: does the picture land with a tired parent, on its own? If not, the word comes out and something more concrete takes its place.

The three stages are yours to choose and never shift on their own: First Words for 0–24 months, Growing Words for 2–3 years, Word Builder for 3–5 years. Each stage has its own free 25, so a ten-month-old and a four-year-old are not handed the same cards. The phrases library is the step after naming: from “milk” to “I want milk.”
