Black and White Pictures for Baby

This is a good baby activity for your infant. Babies like the contrasting colors of black and white - it is easy for them see. It will help your baby develop his concentration skills while also increasing his attention span. You will need some white paper and a black marker.

Create several easy to discern images on each piece of paper. Start with simple patterns such diagonals (half black, half white), bull's-eyes, checkerboards, and triangles. You should also draw some simple faces - features complete with eyes, hair, nose, mouth (smiling of course!), and ears. Most babies tend to love faces. You can introduce these to your baby in a flash card way, or simply hang them in the bassinet or next to the car seat.

Be sure to place the pictures optimally for infants - ideally 8-12 inches from their face. Happy drawings!
