10 Ways to Use Our High Contrast Black & White Set from Birth to 12 Months

Most newborn toys get used once and collect dust. But our High Contrast Newborn Toy Set? It stays in the mix for a full year—minimum.

Here are 10 ways real parents are using it from birth through 12 months:

1. Tummy Time Motivation (0–6 Months)

Propped flashcards + a mirror = a way more tolerable tummy time session for everyone. Plus, you don’t need to sing the ABCs for the 37th time.

2. Changing Table Distraction (0–9 Months)

Place a flashcard on the stand or the black & white board book nearby to keep their gaze steady while you handle the mess. Trust us—it helps.

3. Travel-Safe Toys (3–12 Months)

Lightweight, soft, and non-electronic—every piece in the set is diaper bag-approved for flights, car rides, or grandma’s house.

4. Grasping Practice (3–6 Months)

Our soft cotton rattle with a silicone handle is ideal for babies starting to grab (and drop) everything. Bonus: it’s chew-safe and washable.

5. Mirror Gazing (0–6 Months)

Babies love faces—and their own counts. Prop the mirror up for back time or during tummy time to make it extra engaging.

6. Visual Exploration (0–4 Months)

Newborns can’t see color yet, but they’re obsessed with contrast. Our flashcards & books features bold patterns that stimulate visual tracking without overloading their senses.

7. Montessori-Inspired Play (0–12 Months)

No lights, buttons, or batteries. This is simple, open-ended, developmentally smart play—without the Montessori guilt.

8. Stroller and Car Seat Add-On (3–9 Months)

Use the wooden sign language book as stroller attachment during waits and walks. It’s portable play that makes errands easier.

9. Independent Play Starter (6–12 Months)

Leave the mirror or flashcards within reach as baby starts crawling or sitting independently. They’ll naturally gravitate toward them for self-led discovery.

10. Early Non-Verbal Communication (6–12 Months)

Our wooden sign language book introduces simple signs like “milk” and “more”—helping babies express themselves (and their needs) before they can talk. It’s communication made easier (and way cuter).

Whether it’s for your own baby or a new parent, this is one of the rare gifts that stays in rotation for months—not minutes.
