POW! Baby’s First Book Blocks

Combining books and blocks, Baby’s First Book Blocks is a set of mini board books designed to help babies develop visual acuity and encourage burgeoning motor skills.

The popular press often perpetuates the myth that newborn babies can’t really see in color- but current research shows that by just 2 months of age, babies can not only see color, but they can even distinguish between subtly different shades. All babies can develop visual acuity by looking at images- and parents stimulate babies’ visual development by spending just a few minutes a day with baby looking at these colorful books/blocks. Featuring bold colors, diverse shapes, and intricate patterns, these compact little books offer a prime opportunity to interact with infants.

As babies grow and begin to develop basic motor skills, these sturdy little books continue to provide plenty of opportunities for educational play-grasping, stacking, sorting, and turning pages. Just a few minutes a day of looking at Baby’s First Book Blocks will help babies develop these important skills. These board books also provide a valuable opportunity for parents and caregivers to interact with their infants.
