Soft play is a general term for safe toys created for children between the ages of 18 months and 8 years of age for Developmental Play. These include soft furniture, soft activity blocks in various shapes, sizes and color, Soft Play Mats and Cushions that are firm to support the children's weight, absorbing the impact of falls, light enough to move around and free from allergens and if required, fire retardent materials.
Other complementary soft products include special nonslip mats and Soft Building Blocks. Soft play is great for all children, unlike wooden furniture, soft play pieces respond to the basic physical need of children.
Soft play is beneficial due to its flexibility. Infants can crawl on mats and grasp soft animals and blocks. Toddlers sit comfortably on cushions, build with blocks and climb over the activity blocks. Older children will enjoy playing on the activity modules, rearranging them to create different obstacles.
As with any interactive play, social skills are developed through play with other children. As children climb over and through activity modules, they advance their gross motor skills. Soft play eliminates any hard surfaces and sharp edges that may contribute to injury, making for a safer play area.
