Why High Contrast Images?

Research indicates that newborns find it easiest to focus on high-contrast patterns and images.

These bold, contrasting colors stimulate their developing visual system, enhancing their ability to concentrate and track objects effectively.

By integrating high-contrast designs into everyday clothing—such as our specially crafted t-shirts—parents and siblings can actively support their baby's visual development in a simple, engaging, and stylish way.

Infant Phases: Visual Cognitive Development

  • 0-4  Months

    Until around three months of age, infants cannot focus on objects that are more than 8-10 inches away from their faces. By three months, they should begin tracking objects with their eyes, which caregivers can encourage through playful activities and mobiles. 

  • 5-8 Months

    Infants refine depth perception and color vision while mastering tasks like object manipulation. Motor skill development during this stage enhances hand-eye coordination, enabling them to differentiate between familiar and unfamiliar faces and concentrate on objects. Supporting their visual development involves providing small toys for fine motor skills, ample floor play for exploration, and interactive games and mobiles to encourage motor coordination and visual engagement.

  • 9-12 Months

    Babies refine their hand-eye coordination, mastering skills like picking up objects and self-feeding. Encouraging activities such as exploring books, playing hide and seek with toys, and pointing out objects during outings supports their visual and cognitive development. Regular face-to-face interactions remain crucial for fostering social connections and strengthening visual engagement with familiar faces.

Touch & Feel: The Key to Infant Learning

Touch is the first sense to develop in infants, playing a crucial role in their learning and connection with caregivers through physical contact. As babies explore various textures, their brains form neural pathways that enhance sensory processing and understanding of their environment. This exploration also fosters cognitive skills like object permanence and categorization based on tactile experiences.

Through cutting edge digital 3D garment printing, LGC is able to produce shirts that allow infants to not only benefit from the image on their parent's shirt but engage further by touching an interesting texture!
