Foot massage and training, fine motor skill development, and play — all in one product. This set makes a useful and engaging gift.
The massage mat consists of 8 puzzle pieces and 12 module parts that attach to the base puzzle. Made from hygienic, hypoallergenic PVC-based material.
The 12 types of patterns have different surfaces that enhance tactile sensations and provide various massage effects. The pieces attach both to the raised “pillars” of the puzzle and between them. A child can arrange colorful patterns on the puzzle, sort them by color, place them freely, or try to create shapes like a mosaic. The parts hold firmly, so you can walk freely on them, massaging your feet.
Puzzle size: 26×26 cm. Diameter of one module piece: 5 cm.
