We sew the developing textile rug for the girl

In order to sew a textile developmental rug for a little girl, you will need a small piece of cotton fabric, a synthetic winterizer of low density, multi-colored felt of varying degrees of stiffness, plastic transparent cases and packaging (these can be yogurt covers, packaging from decorative candles or soap, etc. .), a variety of beads and buttons, cords, ribbons, Velcro, multi-colored yarn - in short, everything that can be in the bins of the needlewoman will come in handy. Of the equipment you need a sewing machine, scissors, a ruler. Transparent glue is also useful.
To begin with, you should make the basis for the rug. It can be of any shape. It is most convenient to sew a rectangular rug, because for this you just need to fold a piece of fabric in half and stitch it in sections.
To make a developing mat should be on synthetic winterizer. It will be much more pleasant and comfortable for a child to play with such a thing.
To make the rug truly cute and childish, its edges can be additionally decorated with decorative triangles from the main and finishing fabrics. To make them, you should cut out squares with a side of 10 cm, and iron them in half diagonally, and then again in half diagonally.
The edges of the prepared base should be stitched, ironed if necessary. It is not worth it to get too carried away with the ironing of a product made on a synthetic winterizer, since the insulation under the influence of high temperature irreversibly shrinks, becomes flat and stiff.
After the base of the mat is completely ready, you can proceed with the assembly of the developing elements.
Playing with a rug, the child must develop fine motor skills, so each element of the product should be aimed at this. In addition, the game should be interesting. Therefore, elements can also carry the effect of surprise or surprise.
You can, for example, hide some interesting button, barely noticeable in the section, under the felt square. To better see it, the child will need to push the corners of the felt layer.
A miniature lacing is a good workout. Tucking the tape into the loops, the child will very well train his fingers.
Button fastening the buttonhole is another version of the simulator for the development of fine motor skills.
Tying a bow is not an easy task, but very important, especially for a girl, so such an element is simply necessary.
Motility can be developed not only by performing various small tasks, but also by touching different materials. You can combine different types of ribbons and cords in one element. It will turn out very interesting, and most importantly, help the child to feel the difference between them, because everything is known in comparison.
A plastic transparent case in the shape of a heart - a package from under a candle - plays the role of a rattle, - the multi-colored beads inside it hit the walls and make noise.
You can hide a surprise under a modest-looking felt little square - you just have to carefully press it with your finger and the squeaker will let you know.
In the central part of the rug you can place an impromptu flower meadow. Flowers, as well as leaves, can be made in a wide variety of techniques - the most important thing is that they attract the attention of the child. Some flowers can be fixed on the carpet without the ability to remove them, and some need to be made removable - let them be attached with beads, buttons, buttons, Velcro - all this will only benefit by training small fingers.
Of particular interest to young children are always the so-called "squanders" - elements with small beads, among which interesting buttons, beads and other little things are hidden. Moving the beads with his fingers, the child searches for the elements hidden in them.
A separate element can be devoted to developing the skill to unfasten Velcro. This will require some effort and concentration from a small child, but in the near future this new skill will come in handy more than once in his daily life.
Zip fastening and unzipping - this exercise also cannot be ignored. To work it out, you can sew a small pocket. And to make it even more interesting, you can decorate it with funny applications on the outside, and hide some interesting elements inside.
Probably no flower meadow can do without beautiful butterflies. In a small distance from the flowers, you can perform the application of a colorful butterfly, making her a mustache with moving beads.
There are a lot of design options for developing rugs. It all depends on the capabilities and imagination of the needlewoman. But, no matter how the developing textile rug turns out as a result, the main thing is that it brings joy and benefit to its little owner.
