Foam Mat Animals

Foam mat with animals

The colorful foam mat can be used as a rug – a floor mat – as well as a jigsaw puzzle for assembly.

It is made of soft foam, pleasant to the touch. It can also be used as a base for other games or for lying down. The toy helps develop: sensitivity, color and shape recognition, building spatial figures, and imaginative play.

Ideas for playing with the puzzle:

• Connect all the pieces with your child and say what is depicted on them.
• Build 3D shapes from the puzzle, e.g., a cube or a box, and think together about how you can play with them.
• Make a table out of them. There are many ways to play; the only limit is your imagination.
• Create foam pictures together.

This game ideally develops logical and spatial thinking. You can also build foam structures, blocks, towers, or pyramids. The puzzle pieces are very soft and pleasant to the touch. One side has an interesting textured surface, while the other is smooth.
