Product Information

Full disclosure: Some of these playmats, including the Wander and Roam, Berry Lane, and Wee Giggles models, were sent to us as free test samples by the manufacturer. Parents love that there’s none of that chemical, plastic smell the first time you open the PuriMat and there will be no need for you to air it out prior to using it for the first time. I only included nice-looking — or at least inoffensive — mats on this list with designs and color schemes that would work in most living rooms and nurseries.

Also, as the tiles get older and are crawled and walked on more, they will inevitably start to get a little more misshapen than larger tiles - for example, curling edges or animal shapes that no longer fit perfectly because they get a little warped. The foam is thick and on the firm side and has held up well to the shenanigans of my 4-year-old and 9-month-old, who especially loves removing the edge pieces and swinging them around like batons.A high-quality mat can follow your kiddo into their toddler years and provide a soft and cushiony surface to play on. I’m a big fan of the Wee Gallery products, and have this mat in our house, so can speak from personal experience. Offering your baby high contrast black and white images or patterns therefore helps them focus and put their limited eyesight to use.
