High-Contrast Books Help Develop Visual Connections

Making connections between images on a page and the real world is an important building block for your baby’s communication skills—and these charming books provide a great high-contrast experience for young developing eyes. Color vision is not fully developed in newborns and many babies have trouble distinguishing colors. Since most babies are attracted to borders and high-contrast patterns and black and white shapes, these books are the perfect way to introduce the little ones to the world.

Our High-Contrast Books are Baby Proof

With a small format (6 x 6 inches), sturdy pages and round corners for extra safety, these books are perfect for little hands and curious minds. Designed for babies as young as 6 months these books are a great introduction to the world around them.
