Samuel Sensory Supersized Black and White Board for Babies - 100cm Fold-Out High Contrast Tummy Time Cards with 8 Patterns
This supersized black and white board from Samuel Sensory is a 20 x 100 cm fold-out card designed for newborn visual engagement. It features 8 geometric patterns printed on thick 700 GSM card with rounded corners, making it a free-standing option for tummy time, crib use, or nappy changes. Suitable from birth, it is especially popular for babies 0–3 months and older.
Why black and white patterns appeal to newborns
Newborns’ vision is still developing, and high-contrast images are among the first things they can focus on. Each of the 8 patterns on this board is selected based on what infants naturally find interesting, encouraging them to track lines and shapes. That visual practice helps build concentration and cognitive skills over time, making tummy time more than just a workout.
Design and build details
The board is made from 700 GSM card—sturdy enough to stand on its own but light to carry. Rounded corners keep edges safe, and the smooth surface can be wiped clean after every use. Samuel Sensory follows CE, UKCA, and ASTM safety standards, and the board is free from harmful materials. When not in use, it folds flat for storage in a drawer or bag.
Setting up the board in different ways
- Prop it on the floor during tummy time to give your baby something to focus on.
- Set it up in a crib or Moses basket for supervised visual stimulation.
- Place it alongside the changing mat or in a pram to offer a focal point.
- Fold it partially to create a little “cave” that changes the view.
Because the board is lightweight and free-standing, you can move it anywhere your baby spends time.
