Kids have the coolest and most colorful rooms. From a parent’s perspective, it’s only natural to want your child to feel comfortable in his own personal space. Boys in general, love decorations with cars and robots, as well as darker shades of blue and black. Girls on the other hand, prefer pink. Their rooms are packed with dolls, adorable stuffed animals, and flowery bed linens. Have you ever thought of including an entrance mat in your kid’s room? Practical and useful, mats feature many interesting purposes – they prevent dirt and grime from entering a room, and they’re interesting enough to change the decor and allure of a space. Here are a few playful entrance mat options for your children’s room.
Mats with funny messages
Entrance mats placed outside your kids’ room should be fun, playful, and colorful. As a devoted parent, you are forced to make the right choice; otherwise, your little ones will start screaming that they hate the “thing” you put in front of their door. That being said, mats for girls should feature light, vibrant shades of yellow, red, pink, fuchsia, and white. Boys on the other hand, prefer darks shades of black, green and brown. As for the design, entrance mats with cool messages are an excellent idea. How about a “Be Aware of the Kids” mats? It’s fun and absolutely hilarious.
Entrance mats with animal designs
Kids love animals, so you should consider placing an animal-inspired mat at the door. Opt for high-quality, too. Hilarious designs are great, but let’s not forget the main purpose of a doormat. Most common materials (and also the most durable) are coir and rubber. Either option is a fine choice. A child’s room should be free of germs and harmful chemicals, which is why these scraper mats are so important.
Educational entrance mats
Parents should use every opportunity they have to make their kids learn something useful. However, because you don’t want to pressure them, you can always use tricks to teach them valuable things. For example, you can customize a doormat and draw the multiplication table on it; use more than one color to draw the attention of your little ones. Another great idea is to invest in mats with basic shapes. Who knows, maybe your kid is a math genius but you just don’t know it yet?
Every kid has a superhero. Whether it’s Batman, Spiderman or Wonder Woman, as a parent you should support their wish to have a role model. Including entrance mats to keep them inspired is an excellent idea. On the downside, it will be tough for you to find superhero mats on the market. DIY projects are always the best way of surprising the kids. Purchase the simplest, most boring entrance mat that you can find on the market. However, make sure it’s made of something sturdy like coir, coconut fiber or bamboo. Afterwards, download your kid’s superhero logo, and print it on a piece of cardboard. Use durable paint to draw the shape onto the mat. Voila!
DIY entrance mats
Nothing beats a child’s level of creativity. Sometimes, their ideas are so big that even adults remain speechless. Does your son have a passion for arts & crafts? Does he have a rich imagination? Then you should try creating an entrance mat together. Here are some tips on how to make the best doormat out of rope.
- · Basic tools: rope (about 100 feet)
- · Scissors

Braiding is a fun type of activity you can do with your daughter. However, this time you’re braiding a doormat to place at the entrance of her room. Use quality rope in any color or color combination that she likes. Start the braiding process and let her try, too. Getting the kids involved in arts and crafts activities is an excellent way of uncovering if they have a special talent.
Have you made a decision yet? What kind of doormat will you choose for your kids’ room? Funny cartoons, superhero designs and colorful images are the best ideas. But you should think of their health, too. Purchase mats that are well-made. Opt for quality materials that scrape off grime, filth and dirt from their shoes; this way you’ll keep them happy and you’ll be sure they’re in perfect health, too.
