Play Mats, Activity gyms and Nap mats for babies

Hello, dear parents!

Do you know that babies love mats? Laying and playing on the mat is the most favorite activity for newborn babies. Once they start to grow up, their brain can grasp things very fast and they pay attention to details. They gradually roll over, sit, crawl, stand and walk. In this period, we need to teach them few skills and provide space to play with toys and mats. Your baby needs to be stimulated and needs some activity on a regular basis.

Mammas find it difficult in controlling the baby when they’re busy with their chores. However, the one solution to divert your baby’s mind is to lay him/her on a play mat and let it take all the control and your baby will have a blast.

 Before we move on with the types of mats and their uses lets quickly go through the activities that can improve your baby’s intellectual skills.

Boost your baby's cognitive development: 3-6 months

Read to your baby and make him enjoy your voice

Try to read bright and brilliant colored books having cartoons, amazing pictures, etc, with your baby! Your little precious one loves looking at the vibrant, and bright-colored contrasting patterns while rejoicing your voice along with the book.

Be a friend by telling them about your day

We all know sharing is always a good habit, as said share and communicate your day to day activities, happenings, etc with your baby from your baby's birth and before birth. And while conversing make sure you maintain lots of eye contact which will give you a beautiful time to bond with your baby.

Suspend mirrors at your little one's Level

Suspend an unbreakable mirror on your little one's crib or beside his/her changing table such that your little darling can watch and enjoy his/her face and cute movements. Suspend a large size mirror on the wall at a level little higher to the floor, so that he/she can rejoice the floor movements. Your infant won't comprehend that he's taking a gander at his own reflection, yet he will appreciate seeing that person moving his arms and grinning at him.

Provide clamorous Toys

At some point in time, your baby loves to hear different pleasant sounds, so give them toys that make music or distinctive sounds, particularly those that make clamor at whatever point your child touches. Through which he/she 'll discover that the origin and outcome of hitting the specific toys are getting the chance to hear charming sounds.

Make your little one know variety of distinct sounds

Make your baby  learn different distinct sounds arose from different objects, e.g. a bell sound differs from a rattle or a drum sound.

If your baby has crossed 5-months, they can try doing the following things:      

• Reaches out to toys or nearby shelves, even sofas, etc.
• Grasps toys from the place wherever he/she find it.
• Performs "multitasking" for example, reaching, and prattling for a specific toy at one time.
• When you offer a toy, he/she changes the position of the hand or whole body to pull or have it near him/her.
• Twists from belly to back or switch between positions he/she might think off.
• Keeps smiling at other babies or toddlers, his/her own reflection and at toddler activities.
• To explore his/her own world, he/she begins mouthing/tasting some objects or toys around him.

These are some of the cute little things your baby does and you would just love watching them.

Play mats and Activity gyms

Baby play mats and activity gyms are the key things that aid your little darling in creating noises by touching specific noise making toys, repeatedly hitting some toys on floor or table, etc. to learn about their environment for boosting their physical activity and maintaining proper physical health.
