Fun Pretend Play With Game Rugs

Encourage Creativity

While it is tremendous fun to find a great toy for your child, and parents love to give great gifts to their children, sometimes we have a tendency to choose elaborate sets which do it all for them. Other times, we select something intricate, yet not very durable, and find ourselves regretting our choice of gifts as we sweep up the broken pieces, much too soon after the gift has been given.





I like to foster pretend play, providing my young children with things to do, which will give them a starting point, but require their own unique involvement in the activity. Game rugs, and activity rugs, provide a starting point for children to create their own adventures every time.





There are activity rugs in many themes, and your youngster's interests will determine your selection.

Roads and Trains, Play Rugs for Boys

Among the most popular game rugs are those which provide a track for either cars, or trains. Especially well suited to boys who love car sets, this is a great way for your child to play. Further, storage isn't a big deal, as the play rug can remain out, as a part of the room decor, or roll up, for storage in a closet, or under a bed.

Learning Rugs

In addition to road and train activity rugs, you can find learning rugs, based on simple themes, characters, or games. Hopscotch is a fun game, especially for girls, and you will find some rugs with hopscotch outlined. 







There are alphabets, and solar systems, and maps, as well.
