Cardboard or rug base: If you choose the rug, start with a soft, durable rug that will serve as the base for your sensory rug large enough for your baby to comfortably lie or sit on.
Textured Fabrics: Collect an assortment of textured fabrics, such as fleece, satin, corduroy, velvet, and faux fur.
Ribbons: Different textured ribbons with different widths, patterns, and colors can be attached to the rug.
Zippers: You can sew small fabric pockets or pouches onto the rug and insert zippers or Velcro closures for tactile exploration.
Buttons: Secure colorful, child-safe buttons onto the rug, allowing your baby to feel and manipulate them.
Crinkly Material: Add some crinkly fabric or plastic sheets to create an auditory sensory element.
Mirrors: Attach unbreakable baby-safe mirrors to the rug for visual stimulation.
Soft Toys: Sew or attach soft, washable toys to the rug for babies to explore.
Feathers: Glue soft feathers to pieces of fabric and attach them to the rug.
Bells or Rattles: Sew or glue small bells or rattles to sections of the rug for auditory stimulation.
Foam Shapes: Include foam shapes with various textures that babies can touch and explore.
