Infant Stimulation Flash Cards

How a newborn’s eyes detect light. At birth, a baby’s retina is not fully developed. The retina is the back layer of the eye that detects light. An adult retina can distinguish many different shades of light and color, but a newborn retina can only detect large contrasts between light and dark, or black and white. The best way you as a parent can stimulate baby’s vision is using black and white stripes or light and dark contrasting colors. Research has proven that black and white contrasts register powerfully on baby’s retina and send the strongest visual signals to baby’s brain. Stronger signals mean more brain growth and faster visual development. Created for infants (0 - 6 Months), smooth corners, laminated cards of size 9 inches by 9 inches (pack of 10 cards)
