Since Leah is now rolling around, we’ve put down foam playmats for her to roll around on. The problem with these mats (and with her other playmats and exersaucer) is that they attract dust and hair. Ew! It doesn’t help that I’m shedding hair like crazy, another fun postpartum symptom. I’ve found that masking tape does an excellent job of picking up stray hairs off the foam mats and lint rollers work great for removing dust from the Leah’s plush playmat. Try it!

Wait until she starts pulling the pieces apart.. my tip: duct tape the back to keep the pieces from pulling apart. I had to do this with my stylish looking Skip Hop play mats and it worked well!

Great tip Lina! I’m sure it’s just a matter of time before Leah starts doing that too.

Oy and I just put away the mats a few months ago because Hannah was going nuts ripping them apart every day. Should have thought about duct tape on the underside!
