U-Play Mat, At-Home Speech and Language Development System for Toddlers & Preschoolers: Deluxe Set

This is an incredible, patent-pending, pediatrician created educational toy designed to foster language and communication development at home with parents/caregivers. The U-Play Mat is a U-shaped mat with 15 clear pockets on its surface. The mat is 4 feet wide, and 3 feet deep. The innovative "U" shape allows the child to sit inside the opening of the "U" with full access to the 15 pockets. The child has full visual and tactile access to the whole surface, without having to crawl atop the mat. Child-safe see-through pockets allow fifteen theme-based cards to be secured to the mat surface. This patent pending design allows for the caregiver to sit across and engage the child in ten amazing speech and language exercises using the adorable theme-based card decks. The pockets are designed to be slightly larger than the cards, allowing for the cards to be placed and removed easily. The U-Play Mat comes with an accompanying tote bag. There are eight pockets allowing for all available card decks to be easily carried with the U-Play Mat in the tote bag. The tote is lightweight, surface washable and (if we do say so ourselves) absolutely super-cute! Each deck of U-Play Mat cards has 30 cards, containing 15 pairs of theme-based images. The cards are 4 inches x 6 inches, have rounded edges (no poking!) and are of a thick and durable card stock. There are ten different exercises per card deck described in the accompanying book "How To Use Your U-Play Mat". There are a total of eight theme-based card decks available for use with the U-Play Mat. Two decks (U-Animals and U-Foods) come with the U-Play Mat Starter Pack. The additional six decks are available in packages of three. All eight decks come with the PROFESSIONAL EDITION of the U-Play Mat. Visit our website to see the full collection of U-Play Mat cards!
