Tiny Love - Double-Sided First Book

Immediately after birth, baby seeks visual stimulation beyond his blurry surroundings.
The Double-Sided First Book, with the highly contrasting black, white & red illustrations placed on the side where his head is turned, offers enticing visual stimulation.

Playing with this toy

Place the Double-Sided First Book on the side where your baby's head is turned -- between 8-12 inches (20-30 cm.) from his head.
Try to place the simplest forms such as the snail, zebra and flower within baby's view.

Baby's developing sense of sight enables him to see more and more details in the highly contrasting, black, white & red -illustrations.
Because baby's visual field is still limited, the Double-Sided First Book becomes an important part of his surroundings. When baby lies on his back and gazes at the illustrations, or on his stomach, in the second and third months, and raises his head to look at the book, he is strengthening his neck and shoulder muscles.
