App Description

**PRICE PROMOTION FOR A LIMITED TIME ONLY**


**One of The Guardian's "25 best apps to keep kids entertained while travelling this summer"! - July 2014**

An engaging high-contrast app to stimulate and entertain the very youngest of babies, based on the best-selling Baby Touch First Focus books by Ladybird.

Research has shown that newborn babies can only distinguish between a few high-contrast colours in their first months (such as black, white and yellow) and are naturally drawn to bold patterns and shapes.

Key features:
•Choose from four different animations: Patterns and Shapes, Animals, Sea and Vehicles

•Each can be played individually or as one long Play All movie

•Each animation contains simple and engaging shapes, patterns and images in high-contrast black, white and yellow

•Includes specially composed, baby-friendly music throughout to soothe and entertain

•Animations move independently without requiring interaction, but tapping the screen also triggers entertaining sound effects. Hear cats miaow, ducks quack or cars beep each time they’re touched!


Developmental benefits:

•High-contrast images in black, white and yellow grab and hold a baby’s interest, stimulating their senses and helping to improve their attention span

•The gentle, rhythmic progress of images and patterns on the screen encourage babies to follow movement with their eyes and improve their tracking and focusing skills

•Sound effects help children begin to link sounds with pictures, an important early learning skill

•For older babies able to sit up and reach for the screen, it helps to improve hand-eye coordination and teach cause and effect


Designed for iPhone and iPad, and ideal for entertaining your baby on the move or at home,
Baby Touch: First Focus is stimulating, fun and educational.
