You may wonder what all the hype is about playmats. Many parents will agree that they’ve become a staple in most homes with young kids. Not just any regular floor mat anymore, modern playmats are trendy. Most also offer an array of great features and benefits such as impact absorption, aiding in motor skills development, and being water resistant. Great for diaper changes, tummy time, building block towers, and little naps not on a cold hard floor. If you’re having a baby or already have tiny tots at home, investing in a great playmat will be worth it!
