Small children usually feel comfortable on the floor, where they can freely explore the world around them. That's why it's important to make sure your little one feels soft and comfortable on the floor. The mat can be used for learning to walk or crawl, for playing, resting or as a picnic blanket. The mat can be folded into a "fence" which will be an obstacle for the toddler, protect him during play and prevent toys or balls from falling off the mat.
