To keep the baby busy for a long time, without puzzling over what toys to offer him - this is the task that is relevant for mothers of "sliders". The kid, mastering the space around him, studying the world, rather quickly loses interest in any one fun and seeks to find new entertainment for himself. A developmental mat can successfully solve this problem.
Baby crawling rugs can be purchased at toy stores - they have long turned from an overseas curiosity into a completely familiar and useful means of organizing leisure activities for the little ones. However, you can order such a rug from online craftswomen who will make it with love and in accordance with your wishes. Or sit down at a sewing machine yourself and get creative. In any case, the result will delight both mother and baby.
Usefulness and practicality
The developmental rug is good because in one place a lot of various activities are concentrated that can captivate a child for a long time: the baby can look at and sort out bright details of a complex design for a long time. Here, as a rule, there is something to see, and what to touch, and even try to taste!
There can be details attached to laces, Velcro, opening "windows" with a surprise, built-in tweeters, various rattles securely attached to the rug - a real expanse for a little explorer!
In addition, playing on a developing mat, the baby improves his knowledge of the world around him, especially if one of the parents is connected to the game. The study of color, shape, texture, the development of motor skills, the improvement of fine motor skills, training of hearing - far from all the possibilities that this toy opens up for the early development of a child.
A huge plus of a developing rug is its practicality. It is convenient to store it, just roll it up and put it on a shelf or put it in a special bag. You can take such a toy with you to visit or to the country - and you do not have to carry a heap of entertainment with you to keep your baby busy.
Safety
Caring parents, when purchasing toys for their child, think, first of all, about how safe they will be. In this regard, a crawling mat is almost ideal.
Manufacturers of developing rugs expect that the main "consumers" of such products are babies under one year old, which means that they produce a rug in such a way that it does not have loose or poorly fixed small parts that can be dangerous for such crumbs.
Rugs are made from environmentally friendly materials. Toys, fixed to the surface and suspended on arcs, can not only be touched, but even taken into the mouth. In addition, during the manufacture it is taken into account that the rug will have to be washed quite often. The main components of a developing rug are made of fabric, they protect the baby from possible injuries, because it is impossible to scratch or hurt the baby with soft parts of the structure during awkward movement.
In addition, the rug is warm enough. Even laid on the floor, it will protect the baby from drafts and make him feel comfortable while playing.
