Educational mat – Learning through play

From the first days of life, the baby learns about the world and learns new things. The first year is very intense and dynamic in terms of physical and intellectual development. The baby changes every day and surprises us with new skills: he starts smiling, babbling, turning sideways, grabbing objects with his handle, pushing away while lying on his tummy. As parents, we can help our baby on this path of development, wisely choosing and placing on it educational toys that will stimulate the senses and motivate to discover new things. One of such toys that can accompany a child from the first days and weeks of life is an educational mat .

Conscious decision

There is a wide selection of this type of mat on the market. They differ in shape, colors, size. What to look for when choosing the right one?

First of all, on the material. The baby will lie on its back and tummy, touching it with its mouth, hands and feet. It is worth buying an educational mat , which is made of natural materials that are breathable and do not sensitize the child’s sensitive skin. Safety is also an important issue. The mat should have a certificate that confirms that it is safe for the baby. The baby will drag the items on the mat and take them to its mouth. Reliability and quality of workmanship are key issues here.

Sensory additives

Another issue is the additives included on the product. It is worth investing in an educational mat with several different material structures – rough, fluffy, smooth, soft, which will be used for sensory play, developing sensory perception. All kinds of rustling elements are also an important addition, because they stimulate the child’s senses, attract his attention for longer and engage our child’s hearing. Colorful elements affect the sense of touch and sight, and at the same time provide a daily dose of movement for the baby trying to grab and pull them.

Moments of joy

Playing on the educational mat is unforgettable moments of joy, physical and intellectual development of our baby, discovering new things, their colors, patterns and sounds. And for us, these are unforgettable moments with hot coffee and an excerpt from your favorite book.
