Play House Cube Floor Mat, Blue Vinyl

The Whitney Brothers Blue Floor Mat is the play house cube floor mat made to fit inside the Whitney Brothers Play House Cube. It is a 28.5 x 27 in pad, 1 in thick, with a wipe-clean blue vinyl cover. Laid inside the cube, it gives children a soft place to sit, read or rest, and it lifts out for cleaning. It is model WB0211 and ships ready to use.

How This Play House Cube Floor Mat Works

The Play House Cube has a plywood floor. That is sturdy, but hard to sit on for long. The mat covers almost the whole floor area, so one or two children can sit, kneel or curl up inside without sitting on bare wood. The 1 in thickness adds cushioning without raising children so high that the cube feels cramped.

The cover is vinyl, which is easy to wipe down between children. That matters in a shared quiet space, where many children use the same spot during the day. The mat also fits the Whitney Brothers Acrylic Top Play House Cube, model WB0212, which has the same floor size.

Why Add a Play House Cube Floor Mat

A quiet space only works if children want to stay in it. A soft surface makes the cube a place to settle with a book rather than a box to climb through. In practice, a play house cube floor mat is what turns the cube into a reading corner.

The mat also helps with routines. Some programs use the cube as a privacy space, and many plan it with the ECERS-3 item on space for privacy in mind. A defined, comfortable seat makes it clearer to children that the cube is for one or two at a time and for calm activities. If you are setting up several classrooms, order one play house cube floor mat per cube so each room has the same setup.

Where It Works Best

• Daycare and preschool classrooms. A soft seat in the cube used as the room's quiet space.
• Pre-K and kindergarten reading corners. Comfortable seating for one or two readers.
• Toddler rooms. A cushioned floor for younger children who sit and crawl in the cube.
• Special education classrooms and therapy rooms. A familiar, soft spot for breaks between activities.
• Libraries, churches and museums. An easy-to-clean seat in a busy children's area.
• Homes and playrooms. Extra comfort for a cube used as a reading nook at home.

Safety and Care

Use the mat indoors, inside the cube or on a clean floor, with adult supervision. Check the cover from time to time and replace the mat if the vinyl is torn, so children cannot pick at the foam.

Wipe the vinyl with a soft cloth and a mild soap solution, then let it dry before children use it again. Avoid abrasive cleaners and solvents, which can damage vinyl. Do not soak the mat or put it in a washing machine.
