I love taking my family to the beach, and out for picnics. What I don’t like is sand in my food, beach towels blowing away, blankets at the park blowing away etc… I have been on the hunt for a blanket/mat that will stay in place when we do go to the park and beach. I have found one, Monkey Mat!
The Monkey Mat, a Portable All-Purpose Picnic Travel Play Fitness Mat, is an oversized 5’x5′ mat that fits inside a small 6″x6″ carrying case, weighing only 10oz. It is made of water repellant soft nylon fabric and it not only shakes water right off, but also crumbs, grass, dirt, and other mess. The ties on the ends allows you to connect several Monkey Mats together, or use as loops to secure on the ground with tent stakes which are also available for purchase. There is also a buckle on the carrying pouch and that lets you secure it to the stroller, luggage, bags etc. There is also a loop in the center where you can attach toys if you have a baby or toddler.
I highly recommend purchasing the Monkey Mat Stakes to secure it to the ground. My husband was able to put the stakes into the grass easily without needed a hammer. My kids wanted to use it in the yard to read a book and have lunch. I love how grass on their feet and crumbs from their food don’t stick and just easily can be brushed off. Once I was done I tossed it into the washing machine and it was ready for our next use.
This really is a great travel mat. I love that you can fold it up and put it right in the connected travel pouch and also hook it to your purse or stroller. Food, sand and dirt wipe easily off as well as spills of beverages. If you have a baby or toddler, you can hook toys right to the middle of the mat so your child can play. I highly recommend purchasing one for your next beach trip or picnic!
