Picture Books

My first shapes is a black and white board book with no words. The board book includes: 1 large circle and 2 little circles1 large triangle and 3 little triangles1 large square and 4 little squares1 large oval and 5 little ovals1 large rectangle and 6 little rectangles1 large diamond and 7 little diamondsand finally1 large crescent and 8 little crescents. Enjoy exploring, touching and talking about all the different shapes and sizesBlack and white books are perfect to share with babies as research shows that while their vision is developing, they have a preference for high contrast patters. Over time babies learn to distinguish colours and shapes and will want more detailed board and picture books.
