Abstract :During the first three years of life, the human brain records what it sees around it, just like a recording device. Therefore, during this time it is important to regularly stimulate the development of the five senses: sight, hearing, smell, touch, and taste. It is known that newborns, the first months of the 0-12 months group of babies included in the study, are somewhat weak in vision, but this sense develops over time, and they are sensitive to primary colors. Therefore, they show their sensitivity to bright and vivid colors by preferring objects in these colors. In this age range, where both mental and physical development accelerates very rapidly, it is seen that it is essential to nurture visual perception and aesthetic phenomena. As repetition and consistency are the keys to success in teaching, it is also very important that all visual materials for preschoolers with aesthetic concerns are prepared and presented by experts. In this context, the study aims to examine the intelligence cards designed and sold for the 0–12-month group in terms of design to determine the design problems and to put forward suggestions. As a result of the study, it was determined that the examples of intelligence cards designed for the 0–12-month group in the market partially fulfill the evaluation criteria determined by the researcher or have certain design deficiencies.
