Water mats

Water mats are an amazing form of sensory play for babies. They provide the opportunity to improve both hand-eye coordination and motor skills as well as being an all-around fun toy for all ages.

You can create your own water mats at home for any theme or occasion!

WHAT WILL I NEED?

• Lamination sheets
• Hair straighteners
• Water
• Glitter
• Sequins/feathers/buttons or any accessories you would like to add to suit your theme/occasion

HOW TO MAKE WATER MATS?

• To make your water mats you need to seal both long sides and the bottom of your laminating pouch, leaving the top edge open. Using hot straighteners, run them along the pouch, creating a sealed border.
• Pour water directly into the pouch
• Add your sensory items (buttons, glitter, feathers etc) then squash out as much air as you can and seal the top edge with your straighteners.

SUPERVISE BABYS AT ALL TIMES WHILE PLAYING WITH WATER MATS
