Power in the PlayMat, Versus a Rug

This blog post and video is extra special to me…it’s all my discoveries of why I am in love with play mats versus rugs when developing and educating preschoolers.

Here are the advantages:

1. FREE PLAY: They provide a comfortable space. They are softer than the wooden or tile floor
2. PIKLER TRIANGLES: They provide safe cushion and look more stylish than a gymnastic mat.
3. MEDITATING: They are a comfortable spot to lay or sit on for quieting your mind. There is more flexibility and freedom in your child’s movement on this spacious play mat.
4. YOGA: There is lots of room for multiple children to use the play mat as one giant yoga mat! It’s a great tool to use in building community and partners yoga.
5. PLAY-BASED/MONTESSORI ACTIVITIES: It’s a cozy spot for multiple kids to use and learn on.
6. BONUS: PET FRIENDLY: It’s so easy to clean if there are pet or children accidents. I really appreciate how quickly a play mat can be wiped down versus having to throw in the laundry.
