The child develops rapidly and the task of the parents is to help him in this. A developing rug for a child can be a good help in the implementation of developmental tasks, especially since you can create it yourself without resorting to the services of expensive stores.

Instructions
Step 1
Before making a developmental mat for a child, prepare accompanying materials. Any thick blanket in a fabric backing is suitable as a base. On such a rug, the mother does not have to worry that the baby will be cold on the floor. In addition, the dense and soft base will make your child more comfortable on the mat. The size of the rug does not really matter, but you should focus on ensuring that the child has the opportunity to freely roll over it from side to side.
Step 2
The main requirement for a children's rug is its brightness and versatility of materials. Sew a cover of several squares of multi-colored fabric onto the blanket, after which you can proceed to the direct design of the rug.
Step 3
An educational mat for children, which is quite simple to sew, should stimulate the curiosity of the baby. To do this, sew a fabric envelope onto one of the edges, the top of which will be fastened with Velcro tape. By trying to open and close it, the child will train fine motor skills of the hands. You can sew a small squeaky toy inside the envelope so that it makes a sound when pressed.
Step 4
On the other corner of the rug, sew a flower with a convex base made of soft and velvety fabric, leaving its petals free so that the baby can fiddle with them. No less interesting is the applique made of large buttons, which give an idea of a different form and texture of materials. However, the buttons must be sewn tightly and be of sufficient size so that if they come off, the child cannot take them in his mouth.
