Do you put alphabet mat on the floor...

I use these alphabet rubber mats on the floor. Not as soft but can really be useful especially if your baby is still trying to sit up and stand. I still use them. It also prevents your baby from slipping if he tries to stand up. It's educational too, I have one w/ numbers and my 2 year old likes to remove it and return it back while I am teaching him the figures. :)

Hello there! Oh yes,that's a very good idea! ALphabet mat is very useful to your baby for his/her safetiness and your baby could also learn from the alphabets eventually. I believe most parents have this mat but are of different designs and colors. But with the idea of the alphabet mat,it's brilliant! I had mats for my baby when she was already crawling but it was just plain(no designs) and colorful. With the alphabet mats,your baby will already be familiar with letters at her very young age! Go for it!

Hi. mermaidivy. I think that would be a great idea. Your baby will be able to grasp some of his fine motor and intellectual skills. I think that an alphabet mat is a great choice for your child.

hello ivy, Alphabet mat is fine,it's soft enough as a support if ever your baby falls down or tipped off. At the same time you can use it to teach him when he starts to recognize colors,alphabets and numbers. A quilted blanket will do,but the alphabet mat is much better,since you can use it with his first lesson.

The alphabet mats were really great as soon as my babies were crawling and in their walkers. Because then it grasp attention and they raced over to them constantly to try and grab onto them and to admire their shapes and interaction with the difference in colors. You can look online and do comparison prices, because at certain time periods they go on clearance and you can get them pretty reasonably priced.

When my baby was 4 months old he was already crawling fast and would like to play all the time. So we had to buy him an alphabet mat and it was really helpful that we can see him playing safe on the floor.

My children are all grown age 11 - 30 years old. I've used a thick colorful quilted blanket on the floor for all my children when there were babies rolling and crawling. When they could sit with pillows as a supporting their backs they had wooden toys in various forms. At the age of 2 my oldest daughter walked hand in hand with me discovering the world. She was very fascinated to find letters printed in the lids on the roads. We had fun stamping out feet in them while say A, A, A. That's how she learnt her first letters.She read road signs, signs outside the stores and shops. She read the names on grocery packages. She was 5 years old when she could read and write fluently.
