You can also find whole sets on a specific theme, with the help of which babies can get acquainted with the names of animals, colors or shapes while swimming.

For grown up children from 1.5 years old and older, an exciting toy during bathing will be a set of puzzle mats that can be joined into different pictures. The soft surface of the parts and the absence of sharp corners ensure proper safety. Perhaps the child is so fascinated by the process of folding the puzzle, that they will become a favorite toy not only in the bathroom.

Do not remain without attention to curious crumbs and such models of accessories that change their color. When they get into the warm water, they change their shade, and when dry, they regain their original color. Such entertainment will not only delight the child, but also allow to get acquainted with the shades of color. In addition, the indicator will tell parents when it is necessary to slightly dilute the hot water with cool water.

By type of construction there are two main varieties - self-adhesive accessories and suction cup mats. The most practical are the models with adhesive tape, because they do not collect dirt. If the baby likes to peel off the figures and fasten them back while swimming, the self-adhesive accessories will quickly become unusable, and the mats with suction cups will last a long time. In addition, suckers allow you to securely fix the accessory on the wall or surface of the bath. And from the self-adhesive figures can remain traces that are difficult to clean.

For the production of children's accessories for the bathroom is usually used one of three materials. The most inexpensive, but short-lived are PVC products. But children grow up quickly, so parents often choose this option. Products made of polyvinyl chloride well tolerate different water temperatures, while not prone to fading. Soft and quickly taking the temperature of the water rubber mats are most popular among mothers. This is easily explained by high anti-skid rubber performance. Silicone is not inferior to rubber and modern material. On silicone products when exposed to body weight, a depression is formed, which allows you to not slip during water procedures. A wide range of color and design solutions will allow you to choose a silicone mat for any interior.

A special feature of these children's bathing accessories is that they are equally well fixed on horizontal and vertical surfaces.If the rugs are purchased by the set, then you can allocate some of them for the game, and place the rest on the surface of the bath or shower to ensure the safety of the baby.

Usually soft non-slip accessories are placed on the following surfaces:

• The bottom of the bath or shower tray so that the baby’s feet do not slip during active games.
• The walls of the shower, the wall near the bath or the sides of the bath so that the child can stick to them while bathing while standing. In addition, this arrangement allows children to easily reach funny figures and play. Tasteful rugs on the bathroom wall create a special mood.
• Sometimes parents have silicone or rubber islands on the floor as a supplement to the main bathroom rug.

In order to properly fix this attribute for bathing, it is necessary to ensure that the surface of the bath or wall is completely dry. This will allow the rug to be most securely fixed and prevents the formation of mold under it. After water procedures, it is necessary to wash the mat under the tap, carefully removing the remnants of soap and shampoo, or wash it in a washing machine, if the manufacturer allows this method of care.Then you should thoroughly dry the product so that it will serve the little restless longer.

One of the most important indicators when choosing a rug is its safety, so the product should not contain toxic substances hazardous to human health. Since this accessory is made for children, it must be hypoallergenic. Certificates that must be held by the seller will tell about the conformity of the goods to the established standards. Parents should not be frightened by the fact that bath rugs are synthetic, because specimens from natural materials do not have such anti-slip properties.

The product must be securely fixed in one place, but at the same time it is easy to move from place to place as a baby. In the store, you can conduct a test by gluing the product on a vertical surface.If it keeps well, then such a rug can be bought.

The choice of design is a purely individual matter. You can choose a set of rugs in one theme, pick up accessories for a bathroom design or pay attention to the images by selecting copies with your favorite baby characters.
