After six months, the baby will begin to be curious about everything around him and accompany that curiosity with small physical achievements. He will start crawling, then crawling, sitting alone and later trying to stand up. In this stage of discoveries, the floor is the best playground for the baby.
You need an open space, without limits or obstacles to play freely. Ideally, look for a place in the house that we can adapt as a play space for the baby.
It must be large, as far as possible, it must be devoid of things, especially objects that could harm the child, be reasonably warm, soft, easy to clean and as close as possible to the place of the house where you spend more time the rest of the family.
Even if the house is not very large you can create a special place for the baby. At home, where precisely space is not what abounds, we have to adapt the room for the baby to play. We move the coffee table and we place a blanket of games and its gym on the carpet protecting the dangerous corners with cushions.
If the floor is stone or too cold, you can cover it with a soft rubber mat. These types of carpets are ideal to define the baby's play area. They are generally squares that are embedded as a giant puzzle, so you can use the necessary ones to cover the available floor space and enlarge or shrink it as needed.
Many parents opt for the playground, but it is more favorable for their development to play directly on the ground and thus not restrict their exploration possibilities. It may be a short-term and timely solution for times when no one can control the baby, but of course you will feel more comfortable and free in a less formally defined space, provided it is safe. Even if there is furniture nearby such as a sofa or a bed, they will help you start practicing to stand up.
If the baby is in the age range between 6 months and the year, the floor is the best playground for the baby. It is worth adapting a space inside the house to play because it will be something that will use a few months.
