Why high contrast cards?

Newborn babies are only able to see objects at a close distance between 20-30cm. Due to their immature retinas, they initially can only distinguish between light and dark and are distracted by large shapes/objects and bright colours. As their retinas develop over the next few weeks, so does their vision. By 2-3 months a baby is able to focus and start to follow objects.

High contrast cards help to stimulate the retina and helps your baby in the following ways:

• Supports cognitive development

• Improves focus and attention span

• Encourages visual tracking

• Calming effect

• Aids depth perception
