A must-have black and white developmental book for newborns 0–6 months

Shortlisted for the 2018 Speech Pathology Australia Book of the Year Award

This cleverly designed black and white board book is aimed at babies 0-6 months. Until the age of 6 months, a baby’s eyesight is rapidly developing. They can only see in black and white and are drawn to high contrast objects like the images in this book.

WHY IS BLACK AND WHITE IMPORTANT FOR BABIES?

 Until the age of 6 months black and white images are the easiest for babies to focus on. At this early age it is best to stay away from the pastel colours as they cannot see them;
 High contrast images provide babies with a stimulating and engaging activity whilst encouraging their visual development and developing concentration skills;
 Black and white images can extend a baby’s tummy time in an enjoyable way
 Black and white images can encourage babies with flat head to turn their heads to the other side;
 Research has proven that black and white images register powerfully on a baby’s retina and send the strongest visual signals to a baby’s brain aiding their visual development.
Black & White images can also have a soothing and calming effect on a crying baby.
Continuous visual stimulation in a baby’s early months is crucial for developing nerve cell connections in the brain.

Let’s Celebrate, by mother Bianca Ebeling, is a beautifully designed black and white board book for babies aged 0-6 months. As the title suggests, this book is all about celebratory occasions- i.e. birthday, new baby, Easter, Christmas and many more. It allows parents and care givers to tell their baby a variety of stories for each page based on their own experiences around these celebratory occasions. Create your own story as you go through the book with your baby or simply place the book in front of your baby during tummy time, nappy changes or when your baby is in their car seat during car trips.
