Here’s the good news: A road rug for kids can be a great place for kids of multiple ages to play.
The general recommendation is that road rugs work for children ages 3-12. The mode in which children will play with road rugs will change over the years; in the beginning, children may merely toddle or crawl over the rug, before piling blocks one on top of the other; and, perhaps, in later years, using stackable building materials to plan out communities and play imaginary games. This means that they’re usually a good investment for young families—you can use them for years!
