The Perfect Playmat

When it’s tummy time or playtime, a playmat is the perfect cushy spot for your little one. Not only are these mats super easy to clean, but they also give your baby a soft place to land as they explore. However, the designs of these playmats can sometimes cater to a younger crowd — really young. Most playmats have super bright and bold primary colors, every animal you can find in the zoo, or extra large ABCs. For parents who have a different look going on at home, these mats can be bold statement pieces that clash with your design aesthetic. Fortunately, there are designer playmats that are the perfect combination of your style and a soft place for your baby to play and explore.

Little Nomad

Each of Little Nomad’s playmats are designed to look like an heirloom rug you’d find featured in a home on HGTV (instead of the bold colors you'd find on a preschool playmat). These playmats come in a variety of sizes, starting at 4x6 and going all the way up to 10x12. When playtime is over, you can reclaim your space.

BUY IT: Little Nomad, $99.00 - $139.00

Wander & Roam

These beautiful mats are designed to fit in any room of your home. They're actually reversible and feature two different designs. Each mat is made from one continuous piece of eco-friendly foam, and they easily roll up, so you can put your kid's mat away with the toys.

Toki Mats

Designed with fun and chic patterns, Toki Mats are the perfect blend of firmness and cushion for your baby. They are made with a unique, non-toxic foam as well.

IVI 3D Play Rugs

As the perfect blend of fun and functional, these rugs feature designs that will be a total hit at playtime. Each rug features varying raised and lowered sections with mixed textures for a unique sensory experience. So, break out the toys and play on windy roads, different rooms in a house, or try out furniture that is all created on the rug. Choose from the beach, the farm, the mini city, the playhouse, and traffic for your IVI 3D Play Rug. It’s as creative as your child’s imagination!
