Make your own Baby's play activity mat | Motherhood

When babies want to play nothing can stop them.

Except the tired parent who tries to restrict their movements.

Oh , thats sad.

Dont do that. Its their time of exploration. This is the time they develop all hand eye coordinations, skillsets , understanding and what not. Brain development occurs at this stage. 

So give them some time to play. Let them unleash their own personalities. 

All you need to do as a parent is provide them the location and the objects that is necessary.

Location :

The floor in your house covered with a protective mat.

Well for the play mat you have so many choices. If you want you can go fancy and buy those expensive play gyms . But lets face it , babies grow so fast. Those play gyms will lose their mojo in the baby's eyes before you can say "play"!!! So don't spend too much on these things. 

If you have some extra blankets , mattresses or bedspreads , that is all you really need. 

Get creative. Fold these blankets/mattresses and cover them with a bedspread . Make sure you maintain their cleanliness too. Just put them out in the sun, once in two days. 

Lay them on the floor. Put your baby down and watch them play !

Objects : 

Duh , their toys of course !! 

There are so many toys out there which are perfect for each baby. You can get as creative as you like. Make your own toys if you like (yes, I did make an origami soft toy for my baby ! )  or buy toys cheap/expensive . Anything goes, as far as they are clean , non toxic , do not pose choking hazardjs and your baby is entertained.
