Picnic Mats / Play Mats

Picnic Mats / Play Mats are suitable for children indoors and outdoors when a softer, cleaner place to play is needed. Large-format blankets are practical for babies and toddlers, as they provide a comfortable surface for sitting, crawling and playing. When planning a beach, sandpit or picnic spot, the large surface helps cover the ground and gives you more control over the play area. A picnic mat is also useful at home in the children’s room: it works as a play mat where children can do crafts, build and

play. Size matters when choosing—XL 145 x 170 cm and XXL 180 x 190 cm provide room for one child or several children together. A tie sewn onto one side makes it easy to roll up and store, while the lightweight filling makes the mat easier to take along. Consider whether you’ll use the mat for a trip to the beach or as a floor mat at home, and choose the size to suit the activity and space.

Picnic Mats / Play Mats for children, for the beach, sandpit and home

Picnic Mats / Play Mats are designed for occasions when children want to play on the ground, but parents want a cleaner and more comfortable surface. The XL and XXL sizes cover a larger area, making them a practical solution for beach trips and days out as well as at home in the kids’ room. They’re a good choice if you’re looking for a kids’ play mat that is also suitable for activities on the floor.

As picnic blankets are intended to help keep sand and dirt at bay, using a mat helps keep the play area tidier. Children can also sit on the blanket to draw or spread out their toys. If you plan to spend more time around the sandpit, a sufficiently large covering can make activities more comfortable.

How to choose the right size: XL 145 x 170 cm or XXL 180 x 190 cm

Size is one of the most important criteria when choosing a picnic mat. XL (145 x 170 cm) is a good choice if you need a clearly defined play area for one child or want to cover a smaller outdoor space. XXL (180 x 190 cm) is suitable if you want to put more things in one place at the same time—for example, a picnic basket, toys and an activity mat—or if several children are playing together.

For practical use, it is also worth considering where to place the blanket: at the beach, it is important for the surface to extend comfortably around you, while a larger mat by the sandpit helps keep play in one area. At home, a large-format picnic mat can be used instead of a rug to create a stable surface for activities.

Why a picnic blanket is also suitable for play and development

When a child has a dedicated play area, activities are usually calmer and it is easier to concentrate. A picnic mat creates an stimulating environment on the floor: it is a lovely place to practise playing with shapes and colours, building and role-play. For babies and toddlers, a smooth, softer play area is comfortable—it supports the time a child spends on the floor.

As well as for play, the blanket is suitable for other activities too. For drawing and crafts, it is handy for children to have a dedicated surface where they can lay out paper, crayons and small supplies. Outdoors, a picnic blanket is also useful when you want to take a short break: children can sit down and play while an adult prepares the next activity.

Practical considerations: material, storage and conditions of use

When choosing a picnic blanket, it is important to consider how easy it is to use and care for. Large-format blankets are generally suitable for repeated use both outdoors and at home. Product descriptions highlight a lightweight filling and a sewn-on tie, which helps keep the blanket folded for storage after use.

To choose the right option for you, consider the following practical points:

• Size: XL 145 x 170 cm for a more defined play area; XXL 180 x 190 cm when more space is needed.
• Place of use: beach picnic, sandpit, home floor or creating an activity area in the children’s room.
• Equipment layout: a larger mat helps keep the picnic bag and toys in the same area.
• Storage: a tie on one side helps secure the blanket and make it easier to transport.
• Lightweight to carry: a lightweight solution makes outings more comfortable.

If you are looking for one option that works both at the beach and on the floor at home, a Picnic Mat / Play Mat is a practical, straightforward choice. The larger surface supports kids' play and helps keep the play area tidy in the kids' room or on an outing.
