Operating

Place the inflated and filled water mat on a flat, stable surface. Position your baby on their stomach for tummy time, or allow them to sit and interact with the mat. Encourage your baby to press, pat, and move the 6 floating sea creatures within the mat. This interaction helps develop upper body strength, fine motor skills, and an understanding of cause and effect.
