Way back in May I talked about visual development in babies. I shared some black and white printables for you to use with your baby.
Now that my baby is 6 months old, I am making sure she has lots of colorful items to look at to keep her visually stimulated.
The quilt in the picture above is my mom's. It was made by her 85+ year old neighbor who hand cut each tiny square with scissors. The fabrics are just a hodge podge of scraps, but look beautiful all together.
My daughter loves to look at all of the colors and patterns when she has tummy time at my parents' house.
Here is a mini quilt I made a few years ago. It uses the same concept, but on a smaller scale. Lots of interesting colors and patterns for baby to look at. (Here is a another mini quilt I made as a matching game.)
I have said before that while pastel colors might seem cute and baby-like, they are not visually stimulating enough for babies.
Older babies need items to look at that are colorful with fun patterns. I think fabrics (quilts) are a great item to enhance baby's sense of sight. What items do you use to keep your enhance your baby's sense of sight?
