baby playmat

Although the tummy time play mat is primarily used to provide a safe environment for your baby's playtime, there are other development-related benefits that are equally important. A baby floor play mat can be a big part of your infant's cognitive development as they learn the basics of cause and effect by engaging with new stimuli and seeing what happens. Different colors your baby will see crawling around the tummy time mat will improve their visual development, but time spent on the tummy, rolling over, or lifting their heads up will also help them to develop their core muscle groups, which will eventually lead them to sitting, crawling, and walking.

Tummy time will be your baby’s first exercise! It’s a time for little one’s to physically develop and explore the world from a new point of view. Babies spend a lot of their time sleeping. As a result, they end up spending a lot of time on their backs. Tummy time activities help to even this out while promoting your baby’s neck and core strength.

A baby play mat can be used from day one or as soon as your little one is comfortable with lying on their back without being in your arms. Our soft baby play mat will be enjoyed the most by babies between three to six months when they are actively starting to roll over and enjoy playing on their tummy.

Tummy time playtime can begin at 3 months of age; however, it should be limited to short sessions just a couple of times a day. Once your baby has learned to roll over, cotton play mat toys and sensory elements will encourage them to move on their own and start exploring the world around them. Your baby play mat will also be a great help once your baby starts practicing standing on all fours and rocking back and forth. Usually, when your baby starts to crawl, they will quite literally move to other toys and you will know that it is time to put the playmat away.
