Louka contrast cards

Main idea: Newborn eyes love contrast — and these meadow cards were the early visual stimulation that made sense for us right from the start.

The Louka cards were something we had at home right from the start. Newborn eyes love contrast — and the meadow motifs are simple and lovely.

Fifteen double-sided cards can lean against a cot or pram. Not a classic book, but early visual stimulation that makes sense.

Karolina Vystrčilová Perglová’s illustrations are clean and clear. A favourite for the first weeks.

There's a whole range of similar books and cards out there — but I've found we don't need piles at home. A few pieces are enough, and during tummy time we place them around the baby as motivation.
