Sensory Floor Mat

Sensory floor mat suitable for babies from birth. The mat is made from soft velboa faux pony skin in highly contrasting black and white zebra and cow design pattern to help stimulate baby's developing eyesight. Colourful and patterned ribbon trims adds further visual interest and points of focus by providing a range of different colours and patterns to attract your baby's attention.

Four attachment points, one in each corner, made from red velcro allow rattles, teething toys, buggy books and other objects that can be fastened with velcro, to be held in place and encourage your baby to reach out. Two of the mat's edges are bound by the lining fabric to provide a contrast in colour and texture. These bound edges feature a range of twiddle tags made from different coloured and patterned ribbons.

The mat is intended for use on the floor and is padded with 4oz flame retardent wadding to make it soft, warm and comfy. Blue jungle animals in 100% cotton is shown lining the mat although different fabrics are available, but please note that the lining fabric is NOT non-slip and the mat is best for use on a carpeted floor.

The mat measures 87cm x 90cm and is perfect for tummy time.

Cost £40 plus £4 postage and packing.

Bespoke mat for disabled child with visual impairment

This floor mat was made for a 9 year old disabled child with visual impairment. The customer asked me to incorporate some crinkle elements, so the green triangles have space blanket sewn between their layers. I have used some sparkly fabrics as these can be noticed by the visually impaired. As the family home has veneered flooring, I was asked to add some non-slip corner patches. The personalised letters are made from glitter cotton that has a rough feel to provide strong feedback and makes a scratchy sound when gently rubbed. The bright pink fabric is Shannon's supersoft dimple plush which adds textural interest.
