My First Patterns: A High Contrast Newborn Experience

This is Book 3 in the My First Books Series by A. Nicols

My First Patterns is a high contrast beginner's book for newborns ages 0-4 months. It includes beautiful, vibrant black and white images for you and your newborn to enjoy. Understanding the patterns around us is a skill essential to a happy life. This book will lay the ground work for that understanding early.


What is High Contrast and why is it useful?

Newborns are not yet accustomed to viewing the world like us adults. That means colors, objects and movement can be overwhelming and difficult to focus on. Higher contrast makes for easier viewing and better focus. Contrast implies difference. High Contrast means more difference for your baby to notice

There is evidence that introducing High Contrast images to your newborn can guide them to focus and concentrate at a faster level than not doing so. Regardless of the positive effects, observe your baby taking in this experience and decide for yourself.
