Play Mats & Activity Mats

A play mat for babies and toddlers is a soft base for playing on the floor. It makes tummy time more comfortable, keeps the child off the cold floor, and marks out a place where playing is allowed. In the first months, a baby spends a lot of time on their tummy, and a soft play mat encourages them to lift their head and roll over — the first steps toward crawling. A regular play mat is simply a soft base, while an activity mat also comes with details to touch, crinkle, or look at. A smaller baby is fine with a mat around 70 x 50 cm, while a child starting to crawl needs a larger surface.
