High-contrast books are only half right. Babies build vision through touch. DoodleFace Play Characters give newborns the high-contrast shapes their developing eyes need AND the 3D contoured edges their hands can hold, trace, and explore. Newborn eyes are drawn to high contrast. That part is right. But babies also build vision through touch in the first months of life, and a flat book can't be touched. Touch teaches the eyes what shape is. Then vision catches up.

Builds the hands school depends on. As toddlers color, they build the pencil grip and fine motor control school demands. Crayons develop grip better than pencils or markers at 23 months. A thin LCD tablet stylus does not. Screen-free play. Building the foundation for handwriting, reading, and math.

Creative ownership, pretend play, school-ready hands. Children value what they create more than what they are given. Coloring a character they finish themselves activates the brain's social regions the same way playing with a real friend does. Pretend play improves emotional self-control. Hand strength at age 4 predicts handwriting at age 6.

Color, wipe, color again. DoodleFace Wipe-Away Crayons stay on during play and wipe clean with the included eraser cloth. Markers dry out and are messy. Paper gets used up. DoodleFace Crayons don't. The same character becomes a new adventure every time a child picks it up.

What's Included: 12 double-sided characters, each with a wooden base and 3 crayons (color combos change).

Dimensions:
Elephant: 13.7 in x 14 in
Giraffe: 14.1 in x 10.7 in
Lion: 13.7 in x 10.9 in
Zebra: 13.7 in x 13.4 in

Many customers want more colors and an eraser cloth too. That's why many stores stock DoodleFace Wipe-Away Crayons alongside the characters.
