Top reasons why a baby playmat makes sense

babyactivityplaymats

A baby play mat stimulates child development. Baby play mat and activity gyms attract your child´s attention and a baby playmat promotes body and mind activities. A playmat also focuses the activities to one region of your floor space instead of wandering out over your whole home.

What is a playmat? In short: it is a removable surface, often textile fabric, that provides comfort, protection from the environment and concentrates child activities to one area. Think of a picnic. The blanket you sit on is comparable to a playmat as a comfortable surface and it provides a localized setting for the gathering. The blanket becomes your “domain” in nature for the gathering. In the same way, a play-mat provides a “room” within the room for your child.

Children need to be allowed play and bustle without too much concern for the floor. A playmat serves as a soft surface for both play activities and rest. The playmat texture provides traction for small feet as well as protection from cold floors. If you have a carpeted floor you are still advised to use a playmat since it is easy to wash. Even if you clean your carpets daily, the longer hair fibers mean they never get fully cleaned. A playmat is easily cleaned in your washing machine.

Big playmats for toddlers

Should you buy a big play mat with large action surfaces or a small playmat with suspended gym features? Both are great but if you have a child that has passed the crawling stage and can sit by itself, then you want a bigger area that your toddler can play on. Bigger baby, bigger mat.

Big playmats have multiple benefits compared to a normal rug, one of the most important being hygiene since the playmat material is smooth and easy to clean. Another reason is surface, where most rugs have abrasive surfaces that can cause rashes and discomfort to your baby.

Baby Care Pingko Playmat

A good example of a big baby play mat is the Baby Care Pingko Friends which has a smooth and waterproof surface while being soft and thick to ensure a soft landing when your toddler tumbles around. The somewhat spongy material also acts as a very good shield against cold floors and gives your toddler good traction when moving.

Big baby play mats of this type are almost always double sided with two colorful designs. Lightweight and pliable, storing a baby care mat like this one is done is a moment since you simply roll it up at put it away.

Although made from non-toxic materials, they are waterproof and we recommend you let the mat air for at least a day before use to get rid of the synthetic manufacturing odor that accompanies all spongy materials.
