V-Tech Soft Explorer Mat

Product Name: V-tech Soft Explorer Mat
Submitted by: Michelle Morgan; Leawood, KS

Where to buy: Amazon.com

Description: This product is an interactive play mat.

Review: The mat is very brightly colored with animal characters. On the mat are a bee, glow worm, frog, bunny and owl. When they are pushed they say their animals name and sound.

On the front is a raise platform with a ladybug, birds (with birdhouse) and butterfly. When spun the ladybug sings a numbers song to go along with numbers that are on her. The birds in the birdhouse wobble back and forth and sing when touched. The butterfly moves up and down and sings.

The control center can either be on song or baby mode. On song mode it talks to baby and sings even when baby is not moving. When on baby mode it reacts to baby's movements.

I bought this for my daughter who hated tummy time. She loved it. It really encouraged her to move around. She especially loved the ladybug who can be spun around. The songs are very cute.

It is very durable and easy to clean. I have washed it a few times and the bright colors have not faded at all.

Criticism: The only bad thing I can say is the mat is a little thin. I have hardwood floors so I put a blanket under it for extra padding.
