BABY VISUAL DEVELOPMENT
Before a baby learns to reach and grab with their hands or crawl and sit-up, their eyes are providing important information and stimulation for their development. A baby's brain undergoes an amazing period of development from birth to three — producing more than a million neural connections each second. High-contrast imagery offers the best opportunity for newborns to focus on visual stimuli and promotes visual exploration and engagement.

More than just entertainment, visual focus on a stimulus such as art cards can foster a sense of calm and coherence in visually busy spaces. A card placed over a diapering area can be used to redirect attention of wiggly infants, making diaper time a little easier on parents and caregivers. Furthermore, intriguing imagery invites commentary and conversation, encouraging adults to engage more with baby.

0 - 3 MONTHS
Early on, baby cannot see color well, but black and white patterns and distinct edges will engage young eyes and help them focus.

6 - 9 MONTHS
Edges and patterns begin to take shape as a complete image emerges — revealing an exciting new pal.

9-12 MONTHS
Depth perception is developing and dexterity begins to improve. Good luck getting these out of baby's hands now!
