Playmats have grown in popularity over the years, with more and more parents recognizing the value of having a great playmat at home for their babies or tots. Some might even say it’s essential. Many of the playmats available today come with modern designs, functional features, and aid in sensory-motor development. They’re often durable, waterproof, and easy to clean, so don’t let the thought of stains or tears dissuade you from investing in one. Playmats also offer mom and dad a great spot to place baby or tot down safely and comfortably. Use them for diaper changes, tummy time, afternoon naps, and play.
