This mat was a great buy- $10 in Walmart's clearance section! It doesn't actually do much for Ada (the age group it was created for), but Abby sure likes it. She likes to kick the legs to make the music and lights go off. Ada just loves being so close to Abby- she reaches for her hair and shoulders. At first Abby looked at her with such a scowl, but now she thinks it's cool that Ada is so interested in her. It helps me, too, because it keeps both girls happy and occupied for a little while.
