Infants like high contrasts, experts tell us, because that’s what they’re developing eyes can see. It’s not until reach about 4 months of age that all the colors in the spectrum become visible. So it’s no wonder that our newborn kidlets ignore that adorable Winnie-the-Pooh mobile in soft pastels and continue to scream like banshees.

Enter the Sheep Mobile from Sparkability, a company up in Portland, Maine. The black and white sheep are about as high contrast as you can get and easily seen by little eyes.

Made in Denmark, this mobile would be an artistic addition to any nursery! Let’s just hope it doesn’t inspire your kidlet to become the black sheep of the family.
