Discover the Importance of Tummy Time with Playmats at DiscoverMeToys.co.uk

Nov. 3, 2010 - PRLog -- ‘Tummy time’ – the time a baby spends down on the floor wriggling and playing on his or her belly – is not just a milestone between turning over and crawling, it’s also an important developmental stage when a baby is able to build neck and arm strength. Tummy time playmats have been designed to make the very most of this early development stage and there are some fantastically creative examples available from the DiscoverMe website at http://www.discovermetoys.co.uk/.

Take the Infantino range of playmats designed specifically for tummy time. There’s the Infantino Picnic Play Tummy Time Play Mat which allows you to have an indoor picnic whatever the weather outside. Designed to look like a picnic rug complete with fuzzy ‘grass’ around the edges, this ingenious playmat also comes with added baby toys which will keep baby amused for hours: both chewable, pullable toys linked to the mat and a great little water feature (a pouch filled with water made to look like a pond). There’s a growth chart to measure baby and also a prop-up pillow in the shape of a watermelon which supports baby while developing strength in the neck and arms as he or she reaches out to play.

Also from Infantino is the Surfboard Tummy Time Play Mat, surely one of the coolest playmats on the market! Shaped like a surfboard and in bright beach colours and design print, this playmat is also part of DiscoverMe’s range of musical toys, mats and activity gyms thanks to its cute starfish toy which bubbles and gurgles when pressed. There’s the fun Infantino features seen on other playmats such as the growth chart and water pouch, and – importantly – it builds baby’s strength in the same way due to the prop-up pillow.
