Today stores with goods for children offer a huge number of all kinds of educational toys. Often, consultants pay attention of parents to children's rugs, which contribute to the development of the baby in several directions at once. However, do not rush to take the first product that comes across, but take a closer look at all the options offered.
Instructions
Step 1
The mat should be safe for your baby. It is desirable that the fabric from which it is made is natural and dense. If you are offered a model made of artificial materials, then they must be of high quality. Pay attention to the smell. Low-quality synthetics always exude an unpleasant aroma. All parts must be securely attached, and there should not be any small elements on such a carpet that the baby can accidentally swallow. The color of the product should be bright, but not too contrasting. Pat the front side to see how soft and pleasant it is to touch. Be sure to look inside out, because it should not be smooth so as not to slip.
Step 2
The mat should be suitable for the child's age. For example, for babies who are just beginning to explore the world, models with arches are produced so that while lying on their back, your child can grab the toys hanging on them. And for kids who have already learned to crawl, you need a rug on which the parts are attached to the bottom.
Step 3
Consider the size of the rug. It is advisable that he can fit both in the bedroom and in the living room, so that your baby is always in your sight. It's good if it folds up so you can take it with you to picnics or on a visit. It is even better if after such a walk it can be washed.
Step 4
Look carefully at the toys included with the product. Choose a rug that has squeaky, rustling parts, all kinds of pockets, music buttons, and teethers. Of course, the more developmental elements, the better, so it will be more interesting for the baby to play. You can buy various additions in any children's department.
Step 5
If you are not satisfied with the price or quality of the product offered in the store, then you can always make a rug yourself in the image and likeness of those on sale.
