Think back to when you were just a tyke. Did you have a play mat that was also a puzzle? I know I did. And I loved it. Part of me credits that toy to why I love puzzles so much today. Whenever I have kiddos of my own, I will be sure to indoctrinate them into the world of jigsaw puzzles just the same. If you have kids or grandkids, I highly recommend you do the same.
Here’s a great puzzle play mat to start with. It’s an 18-piecer, so it’s a good first step up to larger challenges. (I think had a 26-plus piece alphabet one at my grandparents house). This particular mat is made from high quality EVA foam, so it’s very safe for your tot. Non-toxic, lead-free, BPA-free, Phthalates-free. The whole nine yards. And it’s available for a great price: under $19.
A learning device like this will not only protect your child (and your floor) from harm, but it will also help them develop gross motor skills, hand-eye coordination and visual sensory growth.
Here’s what Melanie Carroll wrote in her 5-star review titled “Great choice!!“:
Carmen Garcia also gave it a perfect score: “It is exactly as described and a good size. I had extra tiles but decided to make it smaller and saved other pieces for back up if one is messed up by my toddler.”
