Rubberized playground flooring is flexible and durable. The mats are soft, providing comfort to young kids should they fall while playing. Rubber mats are strong and able to withstand the rough-and-tumble play characterized by young kids. Rubberized flooring is used in gymnasiums and other athletic facilities, but it is also ideal for outdoor play yards.
In warm, arid countries, grass mats serve as a building material. Make a simple mat for a bed, or connect many large mats to make a hut. If in an emergency situation, weave grass mats to create a small, warm shelter. Use these mats in your garden to mark out paths and mulch the areas between plant rows.
