Great practical tips by DandL's Mom (Minneapolis, Minnesota) 5 Stars
October 15, 2008
My toddler was diagnosed with a peanut allergy several months ago. I recently purchased 3 items -- these flashcards, The Peanut Allergy Answer Book, and the toddler book "Mommy is this safe to eat?" The 3 complimented each other, and each serves a different purpose if you have a peanut allergic child. These flashcards are great because caregivers can quickly review them to understand risks for your child. Each card identifies one area/subject (such as bakery items, the ballpark, airplanes, the playground) describes the risk (if any), and gives practical tips for managing the risk. Although I have done a lot of reading since my son's diagnosis, these cards brought things to my attention I hadn't thought of, like the danger of my birdfeeder. I highly recommend these cards.

Very Good Tool. by Brad P. Crochet (Albemarle, N.C.) 5 Stars

I thought this was very helpful. I have purchased one for our house, the grandparents' house and am planning on buying a couple copies for my daughter's school (one for the classroom and one for the school nurse).

Keep your allergic child safe by Christina Black (Virginia) 5 Stars
June 29, 2007
These great flashcards make it easy to learn about caring for a child with a peanut allergy. The fun illustrations and format are perfect for teaching children at home or at school. I can go through a couple flashcards with my kids while they are eating snacks. The flashcards are also great for caregivers, grandparents, and neighbors. They highlight places you might not think to find peanuts. Using these can absolutely help keep our allergic children safer.

Now I have a better understanding of the peanut allergy by Martha Abatecola (Edmonds, WA USA) 5 Stars
June 11, 2007
My co-worker has a child with a life-threatening peanut allergy. We would have conversations about her struggles when it came to leaving her child at school, with babysitters or even with family members. She shared these flashcards with me and it was a real eye opener. After flipping through the cards for ten minutes everything she had been talking to me about for the past year started making more sense. For instance, I would never have considered buying bulk food a danger but now I know that it is for those with peanut allergies. I now have a much greater understanding of why vigilance is necessary to keep her child safe. I would recommend these cards to anyone who around a child with these allergies.
