A Baby Play Mat Encourages Development Through The Senses

As soon as a newborn enters the world, their brain begins developing

. Approximately 75% of brain development occurs after birth to 12 months of age. Babies learn about their world through sight, sound, touch, taste and smell. That is why child development experts, pediatricians, and even grandparents encourage new parents to provide a variety of experiences for their growing infant. There are many types of toys and items for parents to select from that encourage development and growth. A Baby Play Mat encourages development through several of the senses such as sight, touch and sound.

Baby Play Mats are designed for infants at birth through 6 to 9 months or whenever they start crawling, standing and walking. At birth, the best infant toys are noisemakers. Two highly rated baby play mats to consider are the Fisher Price Rainforest Melodies & Lights Deluxe Gym which offers music, animal & bird sounds and built in noisemaker rattles to stimulate your infants brain development, and the Tiny Love Gymini Super Deluxe Baby Play Mat which comes with nursery music and lights that encourage your infant to turn his or her head.

As your infant grows they graduate to more stimulating objects such as mobiles and mirrors. Your infant becomes more active by raising and turning his or her head, rolling from back to tummy and eventually sitting up. The best baby play mats are designed for these stages in growth. Baby play mats are made of soft materials which are tested and approved safe for infants. They usually come with arches that include a variety of rattles and toys that encourage your baby to reach and kick. Baby Einstein makes the Baby Neptune Ocean Adventure Gym that includes music, lights and a soft pillow that encourages safe tummy to back rolls.

Baby Play Mats are large enough for safe movement when your baby starts to roll and scoot around. Most are approximately 32 inches square and are completely portable. They fold up easily for storage when not in use or for the trip to grandmas house. Since they are made or durable, soft materials they are machine or hand washable to keep the baby play mat clean for your baby. The baby play mat is an excellent gift idea for all new parents. This is a gift that will get hours and hours of use, and is an excellent item that encourages healthy brain development in infants.
