We choose an educational mat - what to pay attention to?

As a Parent, you know very well that contentment and a smile are the most beautiful things you can see on a Child's face. Therefore, from the first day of life, you want to provide the Baby not only a sense of security, but also moments of carefree play - play that will not only bring joy, but also promote development. You choose toys and items that will work best. However, the variety is so great that sometimes, you get a real dizzy. However, there is something that will certainly work well in the first months of any child's life - this is an educational mat.

 

Today in my post,  I will answer the most common questions asked by Parents: What are the types of educational mats and what to pay attention to when choosing an educational mat for an Infant?

Educational mat for Baby - what is worth knowing?

Educational play mat has already permanently entered the list of things needed in a child's layette. Properly selected will serve us not only as a safe place to play with the Infant, but above all will be an invaluable aid in the development of his muscles and senses - especially sight. When buying, we must remember that a mat is not equal to a mat.

There are models on the market, which should not be taken into account in terms of quality. A good quality product is not only made of the highest quality materials backed by safety certificates, but also provides the child with adequate freedom of movement and, last but not least, will be visually interesting for the child.

Another type of mats are foam mats, which look a bit like a carpet. They are most often made like soft puzzles, which, when spread out on the floor, form a uniform surface, ideal for play. Unlike educational mats with risers, classic foam mats are slightly larger in size, and are therefore a better choice for play for slightly older Children.

What to pay attention to when choosing an educational mat for a Child?

The safety of our children is a priority for us - Parents - so when choosing an educational foam mat, we should pay attention primarily to the safety aspect. Both in the case of the youngest users of the educational mat, as well as those a little older, we should choose a model that, on the one hand, is soft enough to cushion possible falls, and on the other hand, hard enough not to restrict the movements of the Child.

Another very important criterion is the type of material from which the educational mat for babies is made, which I have already mentioned. The material should be of adequate quality and, most importantly, have all the approvals and certificates that confirm this quality. You should also remember to check the solidity of the manufacture of such a mat. Here the durability of the mat itself is important, but also the way of fixing the headband.

It is also worth bearing in mind the appropriate color scheme. Popular among the choices of Parents are contrast educational mats, which have a great impact on the development of the child's vision. However, it should be remembered not to choose too complicated designs, especially in the case of the youngest Kids. Such models are offered by MoMi - colorful, interesting and at the same time simple educational mats.
