MUST HAVE N°3: the essential play mat

Does your little toddler feel like a scammer's soul? I invite you to seriously consider the importance of having an awakening mat in your baby's trousseau.

So to continue the small series of "Must-Have" I continue with the majestic and super comfortable play mat! "But how is this awakening mat supposed to be in my top 10 essentials? "you may say. You don't really feel concerned about this object? I grant you, he will not change the swaddles for you, but I invite you to take a serious look at the issue. Let me explain:

AN INTRODUCTION TO TRAVEL*

After all, our little one spends the first 6 months of his life lying down, wrapped up or engulfed in his bed, his cosi or his cradle. After a few weeks in the warmth of the house, we want to make him taste like an air of freedom. Help him, little by little, to make him aware of his little body in this great void. Make him understand, sensory first of all, that he is a nomadic acrobat ready to discover the world! Little beetle, big traveller, you will become!

A SMOOTH LEARNING PROCESS

And this change of landscape allows him to gain confidence and a better understanding of mobility. This play mat then becomes essential for the followers of the very fashionable "free psychomotricity". Like a small turtle on his back, our little angel discovers, over time, the talents of Master Yogi. Like learning sensitive to one's environment, another perception of sounds, another angle of view. In practice, logic dictates that we let it happen, lying on our backs. But to see our little angel leave her nest to get closer to the ground, if not to the carpet in the living room, during an uncontrolled roll-ball, made me a little reluctant. The great Honoré play mat has become my best friend.

A LIVING ROOM SQUATTER

Once this principle is put into practice, the play mat then becomes a real squatter of our interior. Spread out in the middle of our living room, the laziness pushes us to store it only in case of exceptional visit or natural disaster, direction the washing machine! I might as well tell you that its appearance should not be too obvious if you are strongly attached, like me, to the decoration of your interior. There is no question of transforming my living room into a multicoloured paradise for childcare (the games are already doing the job!). But here, my quest for "beauty" was in vain between the ultra multicoloured rugs, not adapted to my decor and those that seemed uncomfortable to me. Hence the importance, for Milinane, of proposing trendy mats for awakening, with the tastes of the day.

So, you're adopting this Play Mat?

Beautiful week
