According to the mainstream modern cognitive development theory, the development of vision and hearing is the peak before one-year-old in a person's life. And, in the subsequent time, the human being is no longer possible to replicate the visual and auditory development abilities before one-year-old.

Visual development is a key factor that stimulates brain development, so for the babies under 1 year old, this time is a critical period for grasping visual development. The common visual early education tool on the market is the visual stimulation card. In addition, the children's board book is also one of the tools to grasp the critical period of visual development.
The visual development of babies is divided into two aspects: color vision and spatial vision. From the black and white vision period to the color vision period, from the spatial vision period to the stereo vision period.
The baby in the transitional period between black and white vision and the color vision is in 0-6 months period. In this stage, there are several important visual abilities that need to be exercised. After 6 months, you can start ...
... using children's book printing to help them start to read and explore the world.
What kind of children's board book should be chosen by babies at different periods to stimulate their vision? Here are some of my suggestions:

2-6 months old baby can choose black and white visual stimulation card
For newborns from 0-1 month, the world in front of them is still blurred, so parents do not need to start to exercise the infant's vision during this period. The newborn’s daily interaction with the outside world is sufficient. When the newborn is 2 months old, they can start to visually stimulate them. At this time, give priority to cards with simple images, clear black and white contrast, and clear outlines.
When infants are 3 months old, they already have some perception of color, and parents can start to introduce color visual stimulation cards. Their vision has made great progress, and they have learned to focus and pursue. Parents need to start to exercise their infant's attention to things. Parents can also repeat reading the content of the card at the same time, bringing visual and auditory stimulation to the infant.

Babies over 6 months old can start using colorful children's board book
Babies around 6 months old can recognize almost all the shapes they have seen. They will also pay more attention to the details in the card, have a deeper perception of colors, and will have a clear preference for some colors. At this time, you can start to interact with your baby by children’s board book. At this period, the baby has learned to sit up so that they can touch the book, and parents can play games with them through the book.
There are many children's book printing on the market that use brightly colored pictures, and I am also very in favor of using colorful children’s board book printing. However, Morandi is very popular nowadays, and it seems to look very soft. But personally suggest not to use them as color teaching content, the gray tones of Morandi color will confuse the baby's color recognition.

You can choose real children's books for babies over 1 year old.
In this period, I still recommend using children's board books. For children book printing in China, board book is specially designed for children from 6 months to 3 years old. The biggest advantage of Chinese children's board book printing is that it can withstand toss, no matter how to throw it, it will not easy to break or be torn. And the design of them is more and more diversified and providing parents with multiple choices.
This year, My friend who in the children's book printing industry, gave me some useful suggestions about "Choose the best books for children". This article made me understand that, in the 1-2-year-old baby stage, it is not about asking children to learn what to master but to let them do something to attract their attention. The hardboard books have colors and patterns, plus the voice of the parents, giving the children the initial stimulation from the outside world, and it is very durable and recommended.
