Flying saucers
* Gather a selection of different sizes of white paper plates.
* Cut bold shapes from black sugar paper and stick them to the plates. Alternatively, paint bold black shapes directly on to the plates.
* Hang the saucers around the babies' cots, making sure they are no more than one metre from the baby.
* They can also be dangled from the roof above the cot using a piece of string, so that the patterns are facing down towards the baby.
* Change the plates regularly and use different colours to create strong contrasts.
Rolling books
* Collect empty stacking crisp tubes and baby milk cartons.
