If you're on the hunt for a thoughtful and practical baby shower gift, a linen baby play mat is the way to go.
It's a gift that's safe, practical and stylish but also one that's better for the environment, with many people turning to linen due to its versatility, durability and eco-friendliness.
Let's delve into five reasons why linen baby play mats make the perfect baby shower gift.
- Soft and Comfortable
Linen is a soft and breathable material that is gentle on a baby's skin. Linen baby play mats are comfortable to lay on, and babies love the feel of the soft fabric against their skin!
- Eco-Friendly and Sustainable
Linen is a natural material that is derived from the flax plant. It's an eco-friendly and sustainable choice because it requires fewer resources to produce than other materials like cotton. Linen play mats are an excellent option for parents who want to make environmentally conscious choices for their little ones. The Kairos Child Play Mats also minimise the use of plastic packaging, they instead come in a gift ready linen dust bag that has many great uses - storage, travel and to keep the mat dust free!
- Durable and Long-Lasting
Linen is a durable and long-lasting material that can withstand wear and tear from daily use. Linen play mats can last for years, which makes them a great investment for parents who want a product that will grow with their child. Linen is also naturally resistant to bacteria, making it easy to clean and maintain.
- Stylish and Versatile
Linen play baby mats come in a range of colours and designs, making them a stylish addition to any home. They're also versatile and can be used as a play mat, a tummy time mat, a picnic blanket or even a lower tail bone support for mum's who need a padded surface during floor exercises! Linen is a timeless material that never goes out of style.
- Hypoallergenic and Safe
Linen is naturally hypoallergenic, which means it's sensitive skin safe and is less likely to cause allergic reactions in babies. Linen play mats are also free of harmful chemicals and dyes, making them a safe and healthy choice for a little one.
- Easy to Clean and Maintain
They're easy to clean and maintain. They can be machine washed or hand washed, and they can be tumble dried on low heat. Linen is naturally resistant to stains and bacteria, so you won't have to worry about spills or messes ruining your play mat, but we do recommend cleaning spills straight away.
