FAQs

What are the dimensions of each foam tile?

Each individual foam block measures 6" x 6".

How many tiles are included in the set?

The set includes 36 interlocking mats, featuring letters A-Z and numbers 0-9.

Is the foam material safe for children?

The mats are made of EVA foam, which is generally considered safe and non-toxic for children's play areas. However, adult supervision is recommended during use.

Can I create a large play mat with this set?

Yes, with 36 tiles, you can create a substantial play area. For example, a 6x6 foot area would use 36 tiles.

How do I clean the mats?

Wipe the mats with a damp cloth and mild soap and water. Rinse with a clean damp cloth and allow to air dry completely.

Does the product come in a retail box?

No, this product is not retail packaged and is presented in generic, unbranded boxing.

Can these mats be used outdoors?

These mats are designed for indoor use. Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight and outdoor elements can damage the foam.

Troubleshooting

Tiles do not interlock securely.

Ensure the interlocking edges are clean and free of debris. Press the edges together firmly. If a tile is warped, try gently bending it in the opposite direction to straighten the edge.

Slight odor present.

Allow the mats to air out in a well-ventilated space for 24-48 hours. The odor is typical of EVA foam and should dissipate.

Surface appears dirty or stained.

Wipe the mats with a damp cloth and mild soap and water. For stubborn marks, a slightly stronger solution of soap and water can be used, followed by rinsing with a clean damp cloth. Ensure mats are fully dried afterward.

Tiles are difficult to separate.

Gently flex the seam where the tiles connect. Avoid pulling forcefully, which could damage the interlocking tabs.
