I had heard that young babies are fascinated by black-and-white patterns, but it wasnt until we received a box of these art cards (Jungle Collection) as a gift that I realized just how strong that fascination is! Our three-month old daughter stared and stared at each card. If a card was moved in front of her face, she would enthusiastically follow it with her eyes and head. I had never seen her so interested in any other objects. Now, at 4 1/2 months, her eyesight is quite a lot better and so her visual tastes are broader. Id guess that these cards would be most appropriate for babies between one and four months old. The great thing about these large, sturdy cards (as opposed to images in a picture book, or images printed from a home printer) is that they can be easily propped up wherever baby is playing. They make diaper-changing time and tummy time much more fun. I used them a lot on car trips: I would sit in the back seat with the baby and put the cards in front of her car seat, one at a time. Several other reviewers have complained that there are only six cards per box and that the cards are not laminated, which is less than one might expect for the $12 price tag. To that, I would reply that the six cards are really like 12 cards, because each one is double-sided (with one side showing the artwork in black on a white background and the other side showing it in white on a black background). Our baby was equally interested in each side. Although the cards are not waterproof per se, theyre very sturdy and have a glossy finish, so if they come into contact with something messy, they will be fine as long as theyre wiped promptly. In summary, my baby and I would recommend these whimsical, versatile, fascinating cards to any parent of a newborn. I am planning to buy them as gifts for several new babies I know!

This is one of my daughters favorite. It was the only thing that would calm her in the car at 3 months, and we still use it to calm her in her crib at 7 months. She loves these cards.

This item was recommended by my pediatrician to help develop my newborns focusing ability. He absolutely loved looking at these cards. I put the cards in his crib so while hes awake he had something to look at. It kept him occupied for a few extra minutes before wanting to be picked up. I highly recommend this product.

I was a little skeptical about ordering these, but my two month old absolutely loves them! I hold the cards up to him and it mesmerizes him for a long time. He smiles and coos and loves them. I highly recommend these!

I purchased these right after my baby girl was born and set them up along side her changing pad on the changing table. She LOVES staring and studying them, and occasionally will even strike up a conversation with one or two. She is now 3 months and still loves them. My husband makes up stories about them as he shows them to her, and shes hypnotized! :)

We bought several of these packs when our daughter was born. She loves then and we believe that having these cards to flip around and hold really accelerated her tactile and fine motor skills. The cards have also held up very well to her teething on the corners. Highly recommended.

Attached to a mobile (also bought on Amazon) for above babys changing table. He has loved them ever since 3 months (when I discovered he shouldnt just stare at the wall). Hes now 12 months and still loves looking at them (I recently changed the animal pack to new ones...but still love these! Even have gifted for other mommies).

I put a few of these on the wall near the changing pad and my twins (5wks old) love staring at them during diaper changes. They are nice quality and durable.

Baby loves them.

Kids love it, and adults, too. Perfect gift for any new child.
