I love this mat which is not only great fun for kids but is a very rewarding exercise that keeps them active and mobile. It's basically a DDR for toddlers and preschoolers to break up movement and also help develop coordination and reflexes. It is very easy to use with rhythmic and melodic sounds accompanying the light sequence. The material is lightweight and easily folds for storage, feels secure, and has a good grip on non-slip surfaces. All in all, this is a great toy/exercise tool to stimulate brain power, muscle memory, confidence, patience and maybe motivation for musical creativity. Definitely a great gift for kids.
