Providing exercise, play, and rest
Kids mats are available for many applications, and are a fun and healthy tool for the development of childrens bodies and imaginations.
An imagination road map
Many kids mats are made to provide activities at school, daycare, and home. Designed with colorful shapes and games, kids activity mats may be interlocking foam pieces, or may come as one large padded mat with an easy-to-clean plastic covering. Younger children enjoy activity mats with preprinted roads, trees, and other landscapes for an imagination jumpstart.
Mini yogis
Kids and yoga mats are a natural combination! Because of their flexibility, kids can learn and appreciate the values of yoga at a young age. Colorful cartoon characters like Scooby Doo adorn these bright and colorful kids yoga mats, which can also be used for general play. It is important to note that a kids yoga mat does not have enough cushion for aerobics.
Safer than Jack and Jill
Designed for light activity and play, kids tumbling mats are ideal for general physical education. Tumbling mats come in a wide variety of sizes and colors, and often fold up for easy storage. For kids who are cooped up inside on a rainy day, an exercise video and a tumbling mat will be the perfect solution for burning energy.
A landing pad
Often provided by schools and daycares, kids nap mats are an economical and convenient way for a large group of children to take a rest from their busy play schedules. Some parents prefer to provide their child with his or her own nap mat. Kids nap mats should be disinfected regularly to prevent an entire classroom of sneezing or the flu.
