Description

A mat that transforms into a house {MAT TRANSFORMED INTO A HOUSE}

The disclosed subject matter relates to blocks used for creative development and play by toddlers, toddlers or children in the lower grades of elementary school.

Unless otherwise indicated herein, the material described in this section is not prior art to the claims of this application, and inclusion in this section is not an admission that it is prior art.

Various types of floor mats are usually provided on the floor of the space where young children, toddlers, or children in the lower grades of elementary school live. These floor mats play the role of preventing safety accidents, preventing noise between floors, and assisting in learning. The floor mat is made of a shell and a filler filled inside the shell, and a material having a shock absorbing effect such as a sponge is used for the filling material. Recently, both the outer shell and the filling material are made of materials harmless to the human body in order to prevent the floor mat from sticking or harmful substances being discharged due to the heat during floor heating.

These floor mats are usually manufactured in a panel shape that is overlapped in multiple stages or in a panel shape in which the edges are meshed and connected to each other in a separated state. In the case of a multi-layered floor mat, it is easy to unfold and fold, but there is a disadvantage that the mat cannot move or be placed on the entire floor surface during use. In the case of a floor mat whose edges are meshed with each other, it can be provided on the entire floor surface and thus does not slip during use, but has a disadvantage in that installation and recovery are inconvenient. Therefore, floor mats that are stacked in multiple stages are widely used in general households, and floor mats in which the corners are aligned with each other are widely used in facilities such as nurseries and kindergartens.

However, such a conventional floor mat had a side that was not useful in addition to the original role of the floor mat. Therefore, in general households or childcare facilities, there are many cases in which separate play equipment is purchased in addition to floor mats. This not only increases the purchase cost, but also increases the space occupied by floor mats and play furniture, which reduces efficiency. In addition, there was a concern that a safety accident could occur because many amusement rides were made of hard plastic or wood.
