Experts suggest giving babies high-contrast images to view to help them develop their early eyesight.That's why this DIY project, black and white art cards for baby, will get their little eyes and brains growing.
How to make black and white art cards for baby
Here's a quick and easy way to help stimulate baby's eyesight through black and white patterns and illustrations.
I found many great resources for art, but you could also use family photos that have been converted to black and white line art.

MUCH easier than it sounds. It only took me a few clicks to turn photos into black and white art cards for baby.

- A local FedEx or other shop that has a hot laminating machine if you don't have your own, which I don't. They didn't charge me to use the machine, I just made sure to check in with them before laminating my black and white art cards.
Do this, Start by printing and cutting your art to size. Then place art in laminate pouches. Laminate.
