Contrast Cards - Baby's First Toy

Congratulations on your little miracle! The first few weeks with your baby are an incomparable time full of curiosity and discovery. Particularly fascinating is the development of the sensory organs that help your baby to understand and experience the world around him.
In the first weeks of life, special attention is paid to visual development. Your newborn is born with an immature sense of sight and initially sees the world in strong contrasts of black and white. Details remain hidden during this phase while your baby slowly learns to perceive its surroundings visually.

This is what your baby looks like in the first weeks of life

In these first weeks, your baby's vision is still very limited:

• It can only see clearly at short distances, between about 20 and 35 centimeters.
• Black and white contrasts are perceived most clearly.
• Your baby has difficulty tracking moving objects.

Although vision is still in its early stages, your baby is already fascinated by the visual stimuli around him. He begins to explore the world with his eyes and absorb everything he sees.
To support this critical phase of visual development, we at Naturkind have developed our new contrast cards in close collaboration with pediatric neurologists. These cards are specifically designed to stimulate your baby's senses and promote their visual perception.

But why are contrast cards so important in these early weeks of life? And how can you use them to encourage your baby's sensory development without overwhelming your little one's natural curiosity?

How to use the contrast cards in your everyday life

Using contrast cards in everyday life with your baby is easy and fun. Here are some tips on how to get the most out of these cards:

1. Show and Talk: Talk to your baby while showing him the contrast cards. Name the shapes and patterns shown to encourage your baby's language development.
2. Movement and interaction: Move the cards back and forth to encourage your baby to move his or her head. This interaction helps improve hand-eye coordination and encourages your baby's attention.
3. Versatile use: Contrast cards can be used at home, in the stroller or in the car. They are a versatile and practical toy that can accompany your baby everywhere.

Your baby's visual development is an exciting process, and using contrast cards can help support and encourage this process. With our Naturkind contrast cards, you can stimulate your baby's senses in a playful way and positively influence their brain development.
