Created by a former nurse who is now a mother, Dot and Dudly are fashioned in fascinating bold black and white graphics to catch the eyes of infants and toddlers. Research has shown that babies, even very young infants whose eyes have not yet developed fully, find black and white to be visually and mentally stimulating. Dudly has a touchably soft face, perfect for eager and exploring fingers, and soothing to little baby cheeks. Infants and toddlers alike will enjoy manipulating the long arms and legs that Dudly has to hug their friends.
