As new parents, we can’t help but read and pay attention to everything that starts with the phrase “Research shows…” That’s why, when we were told showing our babies black and white patterns for stimulation was a good idea, I went on the hunt for some ready-made patterns.
Among those I found was a set from Babystrology. Unfortunately their downloadable PDF has them all on one page, which isn’t very practical. So, being the geek that I am, I opened up Illustrator and created my own versions. Here they are as individual PDF files:
Checkerboard
Target
Circle Grid
Vertical Lines
Asterisk
Horizontal Lines
