A foam play mat is one of those things most parents only truly appreciate once they're sitting on a cold wooden floor with a baby who needs tummy time. That's Mine developed foam play mats to solve exactly that problem, without looking like equipment from a daycare centre. The style is calm and Scandinavian, so the mat fits into the rest of your home while still doing its job as a soft, safe surface.
Why choose a foam play mat for your child?
The first months are largely about floor time: tummy time, crawling, and later the first steps. A foam play mat provides a soft, insulating surface that protects against cold floors and cushions the many small tumbles that come with learning to move. Our mats are made from 100% EVA, which is BPA-free, phthalate-free and formamide-free, and they're CE-marked and suitable from 0 months. At 1.2 cm thick, they offer solid comfort without becoming heavy or awkward to move around.
Which foam play mat suits your home?
Our Alva foam play mat is the wide-ranging collection with colours like Sage green, Sky blue, Classic beige, Pastel grey, Soft brown, Rose blush, Chocolate and Red earth, along with patterned designs like Lots of love sky and Bees and bears, all in a square shape. If you'd like something a little larger and more robust, our Arie foam play mat comes in Soft brown and Pastel grey. Looking for something other than square, we also have mats in a circle and shell shape, which work well as a soft spot under a reading corner or a piece of [activity toy](https://thatsmine.dk/collections/playtime-toys-activity-toys).
How do you adjust the size to your room?
Our foam play mats are designed to be scalable. Each set measures 100 x 100 cm and comes in a pack of 9 tiles, so you can start with one set for the first stretches of tummy time and expand as your child and their play needs grow. You can either combine several sets in the same colour for a uniform look, or mix colours across sets for a more playful patchwork look that fits the rest of the decor in the [nursery](https://thatsmine.dk/collections/home-kids-room).
How do you keep the foam play mat clean?
Life with small children means spills, muddy fingers and wet kisses, and our foam play mats are built to handle that. The surface wipes down easily with a damp cloth, with no need for machine washing or special cleaning products. If a tile gets worn or scratched, you can replace it individually instead of buying a whole new mat. That makes the foam play mat a solution that can follow your family through several years and countless rounds of play.
Can the foam play mat be used for more than tummy time?
While many start out using the foam play mat for tummy time, it grows with your child. It works just as well as a soft floor under an activity stand, as a base for building blocks and puzzles, or as a cosy spot for books and [cuddle cloths](https://thatsmine.dk/collections/playtime-teddies-cuddle-toys-cuddle-cloths) once your child gets older. Its calm, solid-coloured design also means it pairs easily with [wall stickers](https://thatsmine.dk/collections/home-kids-room-wallstickers) and the rest of the nursery decor without standing out.
