The use of massage mats and paths in physical education and health work with preschool children


Why is it good to go barefoot?

It’s not for nothing that our great-grandmothers and great-grandfathers walked barefoot a lot. They understood perfectly well that this strengthens the body’s defenses, helps fight colds and forget about many diseases. Chinese healers say that there are active points on the foot that are connected to all human organs and systems. And Socrates and Seneca noted that walking barefoot promotes physical and mental development.

Walking barefoot is beneficial for both children and adults!

Summer recreational paths for children

Olga Zakharova sent new works of teachers from MBDOU 267 in Izhevsk. You can see previous summer health props for children here.

We had a summer inspection of the sites for the summer wellness period. We present to you our new products, made by the hands of kindergarten teachers and parents.

How to do

Let's look at a few examples of how you can make a simple attribute for children with your own hands.

With buttons

  • The materials that we will need to invent this product are buttons, thread and needle, and the fabric itself, which is our basis. You can use any fabric, but only thick one.

Prepare two pieces of material. Use one of them to sew on buttons. Alternate large buttons with small ones, smooth and with relief at some distance from each other. It is recommended to use strong threads so that the buttons do not fly off when washing.

After the first part of the material is prepared, sew the second part to it on the sides. The corners need to be processed; you can use edging made of a different material - it will be more beautiful. Now the mat can be used.

Methodological development “Path of Health”

Methodological development “Path of Health”

In our age, filled to the brim with affairs, always urgent ones, we parents often forget that the most important thing is to stop in time and think about simple and eternal problems: how to raise a healthy child . Today, in preschool institutions, much attention is paid to health -saving technologies, which are aimed at solving the most important task of preschool education - to preserve, support and enrich the health of children . Raising children healthy , strong, and emotional is the task of every preschool educational institution.

At one of the parent meetings, we introduced parents to various types of hardening: contrast dousing of feet, contrast air hardening, salt hardening, walking along the health path

.
Having discussed all types of hardening, the parents came to a common opinion: harden their children using
health path .

health path is a kind of massage mat with elements of different sizes, upon which the child’s feet are massaged when walking.

Goal: Improving the health of the child’s body with the help of massage mats, by influencing the biologically active points of the foot.

Health tracks have gained immense popularity recently. And I think it’s no coincidence.

Firstly, they are a good assistant in health work (hardening, prevention of flat feet)

.

Secondly, you can make them yourself.

Thirdly, they can be used both at home and in kindergarten.

A modern city child very rarely has the opportunity to walk barefoot. Therefore, in recent years, flat feet have become one of the most common childhood diseases.

the massage mats that we use every day for recreational in the playroom.

Description of massage tracks : all tracks are made of vinyl leather.

"Pebbles"

I took vinyl artificial leather as a basis, since it is very convenient to process, cut out circles, two circles per pebble, put thick fabric between them, trim the edges with fabric, preferably from raincoat fabric, it will last longer. We take sponges of different hardness and sew two sponges to the base, so that children can step with both feet. This track is good for developing balance and coordination.

"River"

a 40x90 track from vinyl artificial leather , cut out fish of different shapes and different colors from the same material to make it bright and beautiful, and glue it onto the base. Then we take the caps from the felt-tip pens and cut them out to the same height, I cut them out with a stationery knife. Then we sew on the fish according to color. This path tones and massages the feet well

"Stalk"

We will need a lot of bottle caps and fishing line. We make a hole in the middle of the corks with an awl. Then we make a knot at one end so that the cork cannot come out, and we begin to string the corks onto the fishing line from about 1 meter, and secure them with a knot. Our stem is ready.

"Flower"

We cut out a flower from the base, sew on multi-colored spring elastic bands scattered, it turns out to be a multi-colored flower.

"Colorful Rainbow"

a 40x90 track from the base , we also cut out traces from the base and glue it with glue, I use PVA. We sew caps of felt-tip pens on the marks in the colors of the rainbow.

"Flower Meadow"

We also cut out a 40x90 track , cut out flowers, glue them to the base, and sew multi-colored buttons onto the flowers. Our clearing is ready.

"The Scarlet Flower"

We cut out a large flower from the base, and sew juice plugs on top in the shape of a Scarlet Flower.

It is very important that children enjoy walking on massage mats!

When walking, you can use verbal accompaniment games that promote children's increased interest in physical activity. The paths can be used in a complex, arranged in a “snake” pattern

and go on a fun journey.

I present one of the trips that children really like.

“A fabulous journey to the Scarlet Flower”

When children leave the bedroom, they find themselves not just on mats, but on a path with obstacles .

1. "From pebble to pebble"

.

Stepping from one pebble to another, children do not know what it feels like. Having passed this obstacle, the next task lies before them.

2. "River"

.

In front of them is a river with different types of fish. Children need to walk along the river without missing a single fish. After crossing the river, the children will again have to complete the next task.

3. "Stalk"

.

Children need to climb up the flower; this can only be done along the stem of the flower. Here they are at a height from where you can see everything.

4. "Colorful Flower"

.

Having climbed a bright, very delicate flower, children need to overcome a fabulous obstacle, walking on a rainbow.

5. "Rainbow"

.

Children need to walk along the rainbow without missing a single color of the rainbow. Having reached the end, they descend into the clearing.

6. "Polyanka"

.

Children in the clearing will see many beautiful flowers and different types of mushrooms. After passing this clearing, they will see the Scarlet Flower. This is where our journey ends.

All the children really enjoyed the fabulous trip!

Reviews

Mommies recommend not buying massage mats, but making them yourself, because this:

  • Saving money;
  • Using only natural materials;
  • The products are of high quality, unlike purchased options, where after a month or a month and a half you may be missing some element;
  • You choose the material for crafts yourself: it should be easy to clean and pleasant to the touch;
  • Easy to operate;
  • Brings a healing and preventive effect.

So, thanks to the recommendations and reviews of parents, you can safely give this massage accessory an “excellent” rating.

You can see a master class on making massage mats below.

See Dr. Komarovsky’s opinion on the use of such mats below.
