Children's play mat
All parents know that in the nursery there should not be any extra things and everything should be very functional. Therefore, even decorative elements should be in place and help the full development of the baby.
What is it and why is it needed?
So, for example, many parents refuse to lay carpets on the floor of the nursery, arguing that they only collect dust. But the play mats combine the functions of both flooring and entertainment at the same time.
Criterias of choice
When choosing a carpet you need to pay attention to practicality. Since children very often stain everything, it is necessary that the rug is extremely easy to clean. This will use it as long as possible. Modern technologies allow you to create interesting carpets that are not only easily vacuumed, but also erased if necessary. Of course, it is best to wash them, in special washes, but not at home.
Another important point - the safety of carpets for the children's room.In order for the child to be safe and comfortable, it is necessary that the rug is firmly fixed on the floor surface. Thus, it will not slide.
An important role is played by the material from which the carpet is made. He must be hypoallergenic. The child must be safe, even if he spends much time on the floor. Therefore, the material must be non-toxic, and does not cause a reaction.
If you prefer natural materials, you should pay attention to wool carpets. They are the most environmentally friendly and perfectly isolate all types of noise. Their only significant drawback is that dust accumulates too quickly on the surface of a woolen carpet. And if they are too often cleaned, especially with brushes, the material will quickly deteriorate.
For these reasons, many parents choose carpets made of artificial materials for children's rooms. These include floor coverings of acrylic or polyamide yarns. Carpets made from such threads do not cause allergic reactions. In addition, they are not electrified, due to the fact that they are processed by special means.
Also often for children's rooms choose synthetic carpets.Modern technologies allow us to make them modernly harmless. Such carpets are good because they are not afraid of moisture and are not subject to pollution. Synthetic carpets are very light, but at the same time well muffled sounds.
Today, there are also practical synthetic carpets, which consist of many details and can be put together to create an interesting picture.
In addition to the above, there is another, less important parameter, which, however, should also pay attention - the color of the carpet. The rug is, nevertheless, part of the interior, so it must be matched in style to the overall theme of the room.
In children's rooms, parents prefer to lay bright carpets that elevate mood and cause positive emotions. Plain carpets are less preferable here. For a little girl's room, something more sweet is usually chosen, for example, a pink, beige or red rug. For boys, the most popular option is a soft blue, blue or green rug.
What types are
Educational mats are not just a floor covering. They can be very diverse.Let's look at several popular options that are suitable for a child's room.
With game arcs
For small children from one to two years, optimally fit rugs with game arcs. Such arcs are mounted on top and various arcs or mobiles are mounted on them. Thus, the child will constantly entertain himself by examining toys attached to the arcs, and trying to reach them.
In addition, there are also mats, complemented by special pillows for the convenience of the child. Thus, it will be surrounded on all sides by soft coatings, and will not crawl onto the cold floor. These bumpers with time can be removed.
Carpet puzzle
For older children, you can choose a puzzle puzzle. It consists of several parts, which are then connected to each other. Parts of the puzzle can be all kinds of pictures, words, or even arithmetic examples. Thus, playing on it, your baby will develop.
3D Carpet
Three-dimensional rugs look interesting. They are suitable for very young crumbs, and for older children. The surface of such a rug is made in the form of a map of the city or a house for a doll.Details such as pieces of furniture, various places in the city, etc. are depicted directly on the surface of a similar flooring.
Developing musical
If you want to develop musical talents in your child, then you can get him developing a musical mat from childhood. Such a battery cover works. The child will be able to play various tunes, knowing slowly how to create music.
Educational
Another way to develop a child is to buy him a learning mat. It will help develop the logical thinking of your baby. These rugs include puzzle mats. Also to the teaching flooring can be attributed, and those that consist of different parts, made in the form of numbers, individual letters or words that will help the child learn to read or read.
Where to place
When buying a developing mat, you must also decide in advance where you will place it. Depends on what size the mat will be. Coatings on the floor of the nursery can be divided into rugs of large, medium and small sizes.
Small rugs can be chosen for a small room or a room in which the child has a special play area.Training mats are best placed just in those places where the child spends a lot of time, for example, in the play area or near the sofa. Rugs of small sizes are relatively inexpensive, so for one room you can buy several different rugs at once.
Medium carpets are the perfect compromise. They do not take up much space, and allow the child to crawl along the surface without touching the cold floor.
If opportunities permit, you can purchase a large-sized carpet in your baby’s room. The most popular option is the three-dimensional mats, which allow not only to cover the floor, but also to entertain the child.
In general, laying a mat or not is a choice of parents only. Choose high-quality hypoallergenic materials that are easy to clean and do not deteriorate.
