Our stage one cards present babies with images of black-and-white fruits and vegetables that are perfect for newborns up to 6 months. After black and white, babies 6 to 12 months old begin to recognize yellow and red, and the cards in stage two feature these colors to help babies focus on their new discoveries. And finally, older babies 12 to 16 months can recognize blue, orange, and green, and these colors are featured in the foods, shapes, and patterns in the stage three cards that will get babies ready to continue their natural development. Our second set of SmartContrast Montessori Cards(R), \u003cem\u003eHello, Food\u003c\/em\u003e, has been developed by the same creative team and artists behind our best-selling series of high-contrast books: \u003cem\u003eHello, Baby Animals\u003c\/em\u003e; \u003cem\u003eHello, Garden Bugs\u003c\/em\u003e; \u003cem\u003eHello, Ocean Friends\u003c\/em\u003e; and \u003cem\u003eHello, My World\u003c\/em\u003e, which have more than 200,000 copies in print and thousands of five-star reviews by parents who purchased online and in brick-and-mortar stores.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAlso available: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSmartContrast Montessori Cards(R) \u003cem\u003e Hello, Animals\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Duopress Labs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Duopress\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/02\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 20\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Other\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.60lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.11h x 6.30w x 0.55d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781955834162\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAudience:\u003c\/b\u003e Ages 4-8\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eduopress labs\u003c\/b\u003e is the creative team, led by Mauricio Velazquez de Leon, responsible for developing dozens of books and games.
