Massage mat for baby
Currently, childhood flatfoot is one of the most common diseases. According to statistics, more than 60 percent of children, upon reaching school age, acquire flat feet.
According to doctors, a final diagnosis of flat feet is possible only by the age of five or six years.
In order not to waste precious time, we decided to make a massage mat for our child ourselves. After all, as you know, it can be used not only for the purpose of prevention, but also for treatment.
By stepping on such a mat, a child’s, and even an adult’s, blood circulation improves, the ankle joint is strengthened, and the reflexogenic zones on the feet are massaged, ultimately improving the health of the entire body and increasing immunity.
So, what we need: the most important thing is the base, it can be a children's sheet with a bright pattern, or pieces of various brightly colorful fabrics, the most important thing is the naturalness of the fabric; then a sewing machine or, if not, you will have to sew by hand; threads; sea pebbles; acorns and chestnuts, as well as corn.
Let's get to work.
We take the fabric, fold it in half, it turns out to be something like a bag.
We sew the top and bottom, leaving the longest part unstitched.
We divide the fabric into approximately equal three parts, and sew from the fold to the unstitched part.
Now we sew the longest part, leaving about 10 centimeters to the seams, with which we divided the fabric into three parts in order to fill the filler there.
In the first part we add sea pebbles. Accordingly, we pour corn into the second, and chestnuts and acorns into the third.
Then we stitch the rug to the end or sew it up by hand (crosses are marked with chalk). You can, of course, put snakes in these areas, then before washing it will be convenient and quick to both pour out the filler and load it back.
We collected chestnuts and acorns in the fall, and brought pebbles from the sea, since it is already winter, and it is difficult to get such components, you can replace them with buttons of different sizes. Fillers can be taken according to your taste and imagination. You can sew pencils onto the surface of the rug and make various applications. But we made a simple rug so that it would be easy to maintain, and it would be possible to vacuum it or wash it by pouring out the filler in advance.
This rug can be placed either in a child’s playroom or in the bathroom. Walk for about 10-15 minutes in the morning and evening, preferably barefoot. And then your child will not face any risk of flat feet.
