Mat Man™ - Educators
This delightful character teaches preschool children body awareness and other important readiness skills. Mat Man™ is a floor person made of simple wood pieces (for head, arms, legs, etc.), a mat (for the body), and a few accessories (bottle caps for eyes and nose, and cutout hands). There are so many activities you can do with Mat Man™: building, drawing, singing, reading, rhyming, more. Here’s what children learn:
• Body parts and functions Children are eager to build and draw Mat Man™. When you demonstrate the steps for building and drawing him, they learn to put all of his parts in the right place. Children who know Mat Man™ begin to change him into other people—Mat Mom, Mat Dad, Mat You, Mat Me. No two Mat Men have ever looked the same. That’s because children are encouraged to personalize their drawings. From the drawing activity, children learn to draw organized pictures of people on paper. Children will be proud of their drawings, and you’ll be pleased with their excitement and progress. Mat Man™ is also a colorful storybook hero! Whether at home or in the classroom, he has a lot to teach.
