Aside from combining our two great loves, leopard print and dinosaurs, our signature print is ideal for babies for another reason. Newborns eyesight is very limited, in the first few months of their life they are only able to see the high contrast colour difference of black and white and have a very limited depth perception.
A lot of baby toys, particularly baby sensory toys, are black and white for this reason. As their eyes develop they are able to see other colours, starting from red at around 3 months all the way to all the colours and hues you can see by the time they are a year old.
The visual stimulation of the high contrast mix of black and white helps develop their eyesight. Start small, for example, our bunny ear teether can be; held, played with, attached to a pram, car seat or bouncer- anything within their eye line and you will start to notice how often their eyes are draw to it.
Tummy time is another great time to introduce this kind of visual to them down to the blanket they play on, similarly when you're out and about this can be used as a pram blanket or as a picnic blanket...well more a place to put them on the floor in the park!!
And obviously, anything you or they wear- every outfit is an opportunity!
