Mini bath mats

The bathroom is a very special place, a place where we relax and cleanse ourselves. After spending some time in the bathroom we come back from it clean, rested and refreshed. To ensure that daily water procedures bring joy not only to adults but also to children, it is necessary to equip the bathroom according to the needs of each member of the family.

So, while quality sanitary fixtures and functional furniture are important for adults, accessories play an important role for a child. Bathing is calmer and more fun when surrounded by beautiful, interesting things that can be distracted during not always pleasant water procedures.

One of these things is a mini bath mat. It was invented in order to make life easier for adults and make kids happy.

Mini bath mats are designed primarily for children, but can also be used by adults. The mats can be placed on any smooth surface - the bottom of the bath, the floor, walls, etc. Mini-mats are placed in the bath to prevent a child from slipping and bruising during bathing. Since the mats are very small in size, you can place them on the bottom and walls of the font a few pieces at a time.

On the back side of the mini mats have suction cups, with which they firmly adhere to the surface. So even if the child is active while bathing, the mini-mat will remain in its place.

Another function of mini bath mats is entertainment. The mats are created for babies, so they are all painted in bright colors and decorated with drawings. Funny animals, favorite fairy tale and cartoon characters - all these familiar characters occupy a child's attention, allowing parents to wash their child in peace.

Mini mats are sold in sets of several pieces. Rugs from one set are usually united by a common theme, such as animals, alphabet, seasons, etc. This is very helpful, as it allows you to combine bathing with educational games. In addition to regular game models, there are several varieties of mini-mats for the bath.

• Massage - equipped with protruding elements. Walking on such mats is a good way to prevent various orthopedic disorders. Also massage during bathing improves blood circulation and has a beneficial effect on the child's body.
• Puzzle mats - a kind of mosaic, which a child can assemble and disassemble while playing in the bath. When assembled, puzzles add up to a full-length large mat, which may well be used by an adult.
• Changing color - not all manufacturers have such mats, but they are quite interesting. When exposed to warm water mats gradually change color to a similar color spectrum. So, orange becomes yellow, purple becomes pink, and blue becomes blue. This is a very good idea for learning colors in a playful way.

Mini bath mats are made from waterproof, durable materials that tolerate contact with cosmetics and detergents well. Rugs from reliable, trusted manufacturers are absolutely safe for a child's health. The most popular materials for making mini mats are:

• Vinyl - PVC mats are considered the highest quality. They can withstand prolonged contact with water and are difficult to cause mechanical damage. Vinyl mats often contain antibacterial additives that prevent the formation of mold and reproduction of microorganisms.
• Silicone mats are the second most popular material. Silicone mats are bright and pleasant to the touch. They well bend and stretch, but at the same time, pretty strong, so the child can not accidentally rip this mat in the game. Silicone is neutral to any cleaning agents and antiseptics, so if necessary, it can be disinfected.
• Rubber - from this material children's mini-mats are made quite rarely, as rubber products have a specific smell. In general, high-quality rubber is safe and has good performance characteristics, so the choice of rubber bath mats (not intended for use by children) is quite large.

• Stimulation of motor activity - by placing a few mats at different ends of the bath, you will encourage your baby to move actively in the water, moving from one bright object to another.
• The development of fine motor skills - gluing and ungluing mini-mats - is a great training for little fingers, because learning to handle small objects is necessary from an early age.
• Learning new words, concepts - with the help of bright pictures on the mats you can help your child to recognize unfamiliar words, letters, phenomena, etc. In this way you can combine bathing with the educational process.
• Massage effect - most mats have a relief surface, the contact with which provides the effect of gentle massage, so useful for all children.
• Aesthetic component - colorful mini mats help to make the bathroom an interesting place for your child, because everything bright and beautiful attracts the attention of kids.

Mini bath mats are designed for children, so they are all quite small in size - 11 to 15 cm wide. This is done to make it easy for children's hands to stick or unstick the product and play with it.

The shape of the mini-mats can be very different. There are standard round and square models, there are mats in the form of sea creatures, plants and animals, birds and insects.

• Choosing a mini mat for the bath, first of all pay attention to the material of manufacture. It must be non-toxic, durable and safe for the child.
• Try several times to bend and unbend the selected mat. The paint should not peel, and at the fold should not appear broken. The product should be smooth around the edges, with no protruding "burrs.
• Mini mat - it's not just a bath accessory, but also a toy, so get a model with which your child will not get bored playing. If he likes to tinker with cars, then choose mini-mats in the form of various vehicles, and if he is crazy about animals, then let his toy zoo replenish the mini-mats in the form of lions, elephants, whales, etc.
