Play Mat
A premium foam floor surface for tummy time, rolling, and first standing.

Our take
The floor is where the entire first year of gross-motor work happens, and a thin foam mat or a hard rug both undermine it. Piccalio's play mat is thick enough to make tummy time and learning-to-stand falls forgiving, large enough to actually roll across, and muted enough that it does not turn the living room into a primary-colored playpen. It is expensive for a mat, and it is also the surface that pairs with a Pikler triangle and balance board to make a full floor-play corner.
