Before Christmas, we were sent a Toto Kidogo Parklon playmat to review. We received the large yellow bear school bus play mat. On one side there is a park scene, with words written on it and on the other side is the alphabet, with a matching animal and the name of the animal written underneath it.
When it arrived, I was impressed with the size of it. The one we have is 2100 x 1400 x 15 mm and it fills the floor nicely. It give a huge size play area for both children to enjoy. There is tons of space for toys as well. We were very careful not to play with any sharp toys, because we didn't want to pierce the mat at all.
What they say
The Parklon Luxury Playmat provides excellent padded cushioning to support your children through different developmental stages from tummy time through to pre-school rough and tumble. It is made of eco-friendly non toxic material and is highly durable. It is 100% waterproof, easy to wipe clean and has a non slip surface.
This luxury playmat in LARGE comes in the Parklon School bus ABC design printed on one side with a colourful alphabet design on the reverse to aid your child to learn the letters through play.
Dimensions: 2100 x 1400 x 15 mm
Weight: 9.5kg
Material: Eco friendly, non toxic soft PVC (polyvinyl chloride), safety certification from SGS
Recommended age: From newborn onwards
We have had lots of fun looking at words and letters and spelling words out. My son is learning to read at school at the moment and this is such a useful resource. It's great that they can learn through play.
Good points
Great size
Fantastic quality
Encourages play
Safe for children to rough and tumble on
So comfortable for all types of play
Helps with learning letters and words
Really colourful
Bad points
It is difficult to store because it is thick. This is only a problem if you don't want to leave it down all day.
We tend to leave it down most of the time, but think about it if you want it to be put away after play.
The mat is so comfy and it is great for the kids to do forward rolls on. I haven't worried at all that they might hurt themselves.
This is a wonderful addition to any playroom or child's bedroom. It is good to play on but is also good to look at. It would be suitable for all ages, stimulating for newborns but also educational for older children.
Disclosure: We received the parklon playmat for the purpose of review. This had no impact on my post, which is honest and fair.
