This title presents a brand new set of flashcards for use with babies from birth onwards, designed to provide visual stimulation. Newborns have been proven to prefer sharp, contrasting images due to an inability to completely focus, and so each card features a bold pattern showing a series of objects such as a flower, a fish and a boat in black and white with contrasting colour highlights. As babies' focus develops a greater ability to identify colour tones and shades emerges, and so the other side shows a bright pastel scene including animals such as a lion, a snail and a sheep. The cards are durable and robust, to survive repeated use by little hands.
