Frequently Asked Questions
What are Children’s Factory activity mats made from?
Children’s Factory activity mats typically feature a cushioned foam interior covered with durable vinyl. The foam provides a softer activity surface, while the vinyl exterior makes the mats practical for frequent use in childcare environments.
What activities can children use activity mats for?
Activity mats can provide a comfortable surface for tumbling, stretching, crawling, exercise, movement activities, imaginative play, and other gross-motor experiences. The appropriate activities will depend on the mat style, thickness, and recommended age range.
Are Children’s Factory activity mats easy to clean?
Yes. The vinyl covering provides a smooth surface that is convenient for routine cleaning—an important feature in daycare and preschool environments. Follow the manufacturer’s care instructions and avoid cleaners or materials that could damage the vinyl.
What are the benefits of a foam activity mat for young children?
The foam interior provides cushioning between children and hard classroom floors. This creates a more comfortable surface for floor play and movement while encouraging children to participate in gross-motor and physical activities.
