    We have something similar. I invented a game similar to twister where the kids have to spell out four letter words by putting their hands and feet on the correct letters.

    I think these mats are great. I just lensrolled this to all my teaching to read lenses.

    We got ours from K-mart (see comment below). I contacted K-mart and they got back to me and said they have done testing and the ones they sell (in Australia at least) do not contain formamide. Thanks for your comments!

    Fabulous idea! Great teaching tool. Containing chemicals...hmm, that's something for me to check into. Thanks for the info...

    Ones made in China are banned in France and Belgium and frozen in Australia while safety studies are going on.

    Has anyone heard about these mats containing dangerous chemicals (carcinogenic with prolonged exposure)? It was on the news here in Australia the other day (apparently they were being banned in Belgium and France?) but now I can't find anything online about it. We have two of the mats, and our son LOVES it. But now we are worried!

    We had one of these when my oldest son was a baby. It was perfect since we have tile floors . . . we did the same as you and put cushions around him and sat him on the foam. He loved it and stayed safe! Well, until he started crawling.

    We don't have one of these. Might be the only toy on the planet Nana hasn't bought us! :) The boys used to have one at church, but the ladies there said that they would all just pull out the letters and never put them back. Maybe they were too young. Cool lens!

    I have a set. I think I got it at a hardware store. I'm not sure of the brand. My kids loved them too. They liked to line them up in abc order and run back and forth on the line. We have a long family room downstairs. They are boxed up now since my kids are older. They are great fun for young ones.

    I agree.. we had a smaller one when my kid was younger. It starts off safe and leads to many exciting games for them to discover!

    I love these things!

    Great idea for a carpet. Wish they had these when my kids were young.

    What fun, I always wanted something like those when my boys were little...maybe I'll get some for my grand daughter.

    Very cool lens. These playmats look great for babies and toddlers.

    I want some for me - and that playzone - what a great place to have a tantrum!

    When your kids get a little older they can be a fun way to practice letter recognition and later on can be a fun learning center for practicing spelling words. In order to make it easier to spell words you might need to have a couple of sets of the alphabet to accommodate double letters.

    This are very neat and look safe for toddlers and babies! I have older kids now but I have some friends I'm going to suggest them to!

    My son used to love these! This is a surely a great toy for kids! All the daycare and pre-schools in this area have them and they are easy to sanitize! Love this!

    I bought the Disness Princess's ones for my Grankids. They love them, and use them for a variety of activities.

There are things you can use in more than one way. This mat / toy / protection is such a thing! And we love it!
