U-Play Mat Review and Giveaway!


 Play This Way Every Day was founded in 2008 with the goal of enhancing interactive floor play between toddlers and parents. Although there are many wonderful educational  toys on market, very few provide guidance for parents and caregivers on how to play together.

The U-Play mat was designed by Dr. Jen with consultation from speech or occupational therapists in order to assure optimal design and instructions for use.

I love teaching my kids and watching them learn. It is a amazing process that every parent should be involved in with the U-Play Mat you do just that.

The U-Play Mat was designed by a pediatrician and mom of four. This special mat allows the child to sit inside the opening of the U and have full access to 15 clear pockets - filled with interactive flash cards. From theme-based cards around animals, foods, letters and more - adults can interact with the child and make learning all kinds of lessons fun! Plus, with the design of the mat, and the accompanying tote bag, there is no mess. It especially helpful in teaching special needs children! Perfect for children ages 1 and up.
I recieved the U-Play Mat Professional edition. It included eight card decks. My little ones just love the U-Play Mat! My almost 3 year old loves helping when I am working with my 15 month old. She always like over there in a low whisper which I think is so cute. My little ones know sign language and since my 15 month old doesn't talk much I find myself signing the word. I will ask her where is the pig and sign it and she will point to the picture of the pig. So, it has many uses.

Play This Way is offering one of my lucky readers a U-Play Mat Starter Set of their very own to use.
