Spring has finally arrived — more light, more energy, and more desire to play. The perfect occasion to refresh your play area. In this article, we share 5 practical tips to get the most out of your Mats & Joy playmat this spring.
Move your playmat into the light
In spring, sunlight streams further into the room — use it! Move your playmat to the bright corner by the window. The soft, vibrant colors of our mats truly come alive in natural light.
A bright play area feels more inviting for children and looks better in the nursery. Small adjustment, big difference.
Tip: combine your mat with a low basket of toys and a small tent. This creates a defined play world that children will be drawn to again and again.
Spring cleaning? Just wash your playmat with it
Spring = spring cleaning. The good news: our playmats are fully machine washable at 30°. No hassle, no expensive cleaning products, no stress about stains.
Throw it in the machine, hang it to dry, and it's as good as new. Ideal for busy families where playing and spilling go hand in hand.
Wash your mat at 30° with a mild detergent. Do not tumble dry — just hang to dry. This way it retains its shape and freshness.
Turn it into a real play world
A playmat is more than just a surface — it's the foundation of a play world. Combine your nursery playmat with some accessories for a corner that children will seek out themselves: a low bookshelf, soft cushions, a small tent.
By visually delimiting the play zone with the mat, children also learn to tidy up faster — everything belongs "on the mat".
Using a playmat outdoors — it's possible!
Did you know you can also use our playmats outdoors? The sturdy anti-slip backing keeps the mat stable on the patio or in the garden. Perfect for soft spring afternoons playing outside.
Use it as a soft landing zone next to a sandbox, on the patio, or just on the grass. Airing it out also does the mat good.
