Ten farm animals are printed across this 37.5-by-14-inch mat, each one calling out when a child steps or presses on it, which makes animal recognition part of the play rather than a separate lesson. Switch to keyboard mode with the demo sign and the same strip becomes 10 music keys with 10 songs to follow along to. Sponge and EPE foam under a printed top give a soft landing for knees and bare feet, while the non-slip PE base holds the mat still on tile or laminate. Two AA batteries run the whole thing, and at half a pound it folds small enough to take out to the garden or on a visit. It suits children of 3 and up learning sounds, rhythm and hand-eye coordination.
