Tummy Time Jungle Play Mat

The Tummy Time Jungle Play Mat is just what you need for baby's daily tummy time. The soft and comfy round mat has a 20 inch diameter. Stimulating knots, loops, sounds, even a teether and a rattle, are built into this wonderful mat for babies.

In the "olden days" babies slept on their tummies and spent a good part of their day in that position. Experts now conclude that sleeping on the back is safest for babies. It is not uncommon for infants to be on their backs all day as well, spending hours reclining in their car seats and strollers, as well as in their cribs.

Pediatricians recommend infants spend at least 30 minutes per day engaged in tummy time. Tummy time not only gives your baby a different perspective of their world, but it encourages them to lift their heads. This, in turn, strengthens the muscles in their neck and upper back. And, your baby needs these strengthened muscles to reach important developmental milestones such as rolling over, sitting up, and crawling.

We can probably all agree that tummy time is important. Some babies do prefer to be on their backs and can become fussy on their tummies. To encourage tummy time and to make it as fun as possible you want your baby to be both comfortable and engaged. The Tummy Time Jungle Play Mat is both comfortable and engaging.

The Jungle Play Mat is soft and padded with baby's comfort in mind. The colorful fabric and engaging animal theme will hold baby's attention. The cute jungle animals and the colors of the mat are very appealing. But there is so much more. Babies will explore the jungle mat grasping and tugging on the knots and loops along the outer edge. You can press the lion to hear him roar. The crinkle leaves and squeakers appeal to their sense of hearing. A textured teether and a chick rattle are attached as well. The Tummy Time Jungle Play Mat appeals to all the senses. No small parts to loose or misplace, and so easy to gather up to put away or take with you.

The Tummy Time Jungle Play Mat offers multi-activity fun for today's baby. The manufacturer recommends spot cleaning with a damp cloth.
