A baby's motor development follows a fairly predictable sequence: head control, rolling, sitting, crawling, standing. Each stage prepares the next. And the play mat is present in all of them.
0–3 months: tummy time and head control
At this stage the mat is the tummy time space. Your baby needs a firm but padded surface to rest their forearms on and work the neck and shoulder muscles.
The right surface makes a difference at every stage of your baby's development.

The baby starts rolling from tummy to back and back again. They need space to roll without falling off.
6–9 months: the start of crawling
Crawling requires traction. Natural wool has a texture that provides exactly that traction without being rough on the knees.
9–18 months: first steps
The mat remains the safe space where your baby practises balance, falls and gets up again.
Designed to accompany your baby from 0 to 3 years.
