Why Black and White Toys for Babies?... High Contrast Colors REMAIN the best!

Posted Wednesday, March 6, 2007, by Sarah Kennedy, Parent Educator.
Newborns can see from birth, just not as clearly as an older child or adult. Until your child is about six months of age, he will respond best to bold, contrasting colors and graphics. That’s why it’s important to provide your baby with toys that feature the visual extremes of black, white and red. High-contrast colors will captivate and hold baby’s attention, encouraging visual development as well as physical activity – like wiggling, kicking, and arm waving.
Regrettably, there has been a major move in the infant toy industry away from production of black, white and red toys.
They have elected to chose bright modern colors. Thus,
Genius Baby Toys has gone into production to fill the need. The highest contrast black, white and red remains the best visual option for infants.
